A leading gynecologist has recently claimed that female politicians are using testosterone implants to try to match their male counterparts in assertiveness and competitiveness.
Malcolm Whitehead, a Harley Street doctor, said he had prescribed the hormone for a number of women who wanted to “beef up” their image in the macho world of politics. He commented: “I have prescribed testosterone implants for female politicians in Westminster who want to compete better with their male colleagues in committee meetings and parliamentary debates. They claim the hormone boosts their assertiveness and makes them feel more powerful.”
His extraordinary claim – recently published in the New Statesman magazine – was greeted with disbelief in Westminster – but, then again, which female MP was going to publicly admit to trying testosterone?
