Although Prime Minister David Cameron has already apologized for his sexist comments to MPs Angela Eagle and Nadine Dorries, he has yet to take true action in Parliament on behalf of women.
According to the shadow minister for women and equalities in an interview with The Guardian, British women are facing record levels of unemployment, huge cuts to childcare support, and massive cuts to their pensions. Prime Minister Cameron himself has admitted that women are usually the ones worrying the hardest about family budget.
Prime Minister Cameron needs to apologize for Parliament's sexist policies, not just his sexist remarks. Tell him to stand up for British women in the next year's budget!
Although your apologies for your sexist remarks in Parliament are appreciated, they themselves were merely indicative of the greater sexist policies currently taking place in Parliament.
According to Yvette Cooper, women are being hit twice as hard with Parliamentary budget decisions as are men. You yourself admitted recently that it is women who foot the majority of budgetary stress in the family.
I am writing to urge you to keep sexism not just out of your rhetoric, but out of Parliament as well. Please acknowledge needs of women in your policy.
