*Ø* Blogmanac Male jab for women MPs?
Five British women MPs are coping with the macho world of politics by secretly taking a male sex hormone. A Harley Street specialist yesterday revealed he has treated the mystery five with testosterone implants. Gynaecologist Malcolm Whitehead said: “They claim it boosts assertiveness and makes them feel more powerful.
Last night Westminster was rife with rumours about who might be getting the treatment. But some women MPs were outraged by the suggestion they needed a boost to compete with their male colleagues. Minister for Women Patricia Hewitt said: “It’s one of the great myths that women need to behave like men to succeed. The truth is MPs are far more likely to succeed if they use rational argument rather than hormone-fuelled rhetoric. Is there no end to the rubbish people will say about women in senior positions?”
