I’ll put my cards on the table. I am an unreconstructed woman who grieves at the passing of the "wolf whistle" era. I shout out loud if a man stands up or rushes to open the door for me. I literally pine for compliments from men. To be told that I looked beautiful or that my outfit was sexy would keep me on a high for weeks.

But feminism has seen off these simple joys, dragging us into its dreary and oppressive world - for both sexes - where terrorised men are too afraid to compliment a woman on how she looks.

That’s until Donald Trump stepped up and out into a political territory where angels normally fear to tread. The Trump phenomenon came as an unexpected smack right between the eyes of the sisterhood.

Back in August, when Fox News host Megyn Kelly, confronted him head on over his attitude towards women he did the unthinkable: he fought sexism with more sexism. “Honestly, Megyn, if you don’t like it, I’m sorry. I’ve been very nice to you, even though I don’t have to be given the way you treat me, but I wouldn’t do that.”

But she did. Effectively she and her sisters screamed you can’t do this, you can't personally evaluate women or call them fat or slobs or ask them to put on a bikini!
