Hi @theresa_may @Number10gov, I’ve just seen the laughably inadequate #Marr interview and perhaps what you really need is some statistics.

According to HESA, recent stats show women make up over half of the student population
They also make up 41.1% of the academic body, and 58.9% of the non academic body, employed at Universities.
According to your recent Department of Education report, women make up over 80% of all school staff.

84.8 % Primary School teachers

62.4 % Secondary School teachers

91.5 % Teaching Assistants

82 % Support Staff
All of these stats are freely available online btw - they are not hard to find.

So into our educational community, dominated by women - yet very few of whom are promoted to leadership positions - @theresa_may has appointed a man who publicly views women as:
And who has written - proudly - about that time he planned to use his dick to ridicule/frighten/humiliate a group of women who he knew would NEVER consent to any form of sexual interaction with him.
And who defends his public comments as ‘sophomoric’. A man in his 40s and 50s. The only thing your defence of him has done, @theresa_may, is reaffirm the Tories commitment to babying misogynistic men. No woman can ever take him, or you, seriously.
Oh yeah, and let’s not forget this...
