I'm a woman MP and I'm calling time on misogyny.

The last time I experienced explicit misogyny through work was yesterday.

- Dehenna Davison

It came in the form of an email from a man called James, who wrote to me off the back of anonymous rumours in the papers that I was defecting to the Labour Party.

I'm absolutely not defecting, for the record, but this isn't the first time I've received abuse off the back of newspaper articles citing anonymous sources.

I'm certainly not the only female MP to experience this, as we saw over the weekend with the shoddy hatchet job on Angela Rayner, which has been called out by women and men alike across all sides of the political divide.

Let's examine the real story that was printed: “Woman wears skirt, and bloke too scared to name himself assumes it's distraction technique because he himself can't see a pair of bare, female legs without sweating": How about, instead: "Accomplished woman wears skirt because she wanted to wear skirt, and now let's discuss what she actually said at the Despatch Box”.

A I comments every day about my appearance, my tone of voice, my intelligence.

A bloke goes on telly to give an interview about the policy of the day and he's "communicating”. I do the same and I must be "attention seeking”.

I've been called a bitch, told to get back to the kitchen where I belong, and publicly asked personal questions about my love life.
