There was also a landmark decision last year regarding women taking maternity leave – to which they were entitled – who then suffered a lack of promotional opportunities when they came back. They were deemed uncertain employees when of childbearing age because they were going off to have babies. My points may be making people uncomfortable, but they are facts of life; the facts of life are not just what one tells one's children at 11 or 12 years. They also relate to sections of society which still regard women as inferior or as not having all their faculties, which I rebut strongly and will continue to do in public and private life. There will be ribald and risqué jokes with people saying women are at it again, but I am pleased there are men as well as women here who share the views expressed today.
