Boris Johnson describes himself as “absolutely” a feminist

Last night Iain Dale asked Boris Johnson, during the final hustings of the Tory party leadership, if he’s a feminist. His response is over 1:17:21 – 1:20:02 here. After describing himself as “absolutely” a feminist, he spouts nonsense about the education of girls in the third world, a matter which occupied him when he was Foreigh Secretary. William Collins wrote a piece about the issue at the time, World Education by Sex. It’s also covered in his excellent recently-published book, The Empathy Gap: Male Disadvantages and the Mechanisms of Their Neglect.
