Dr Beth Upton: entitled male? Yes. Victim of a cult? Also yes.

A doctor talking utter nonsense about biology might seem funny, but in fact, it's a deadly serious sign of a much wider problem.

Many of us watch the tribunal of Sandie Peggie unfold in awe: in awe of the bravery of the woman at the centre of it all, Sandy Peggie; and at the same time in awe of the sheer lunacy of the situation we find ourselves in. Never could we have conceived of such a push back against women’s rights than this new topsy turvy version of reality, in which a woman can object to the presence of a man in her changing room and not only find herself disciplined by her employer for doing so, but also portrayed as bigoted and unkind during the subsequent tribunal. The aggressor - a male invading a female space - becomes the victim, and the victim - the woman objecting to the presence of that male - becomes the aggressor.

This classic example of DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender) is well captured by this cartoonist (link to twitter, shared with permission)
