‘Sexist’ David Cameron losing support of female voters: Labour

Citing an incident in the Commons in April,when the Prime Minister had dismissed Labour MP Angela Eagle by saying “Calm down,dear”,Cooper insisted that Cameron’s public persona was increasingly putting off female voters.

“What was David Cameron’s response to the women who have warned him about the damage he is doing? Not sorry,but ”Calm down,dear’,” she added.

“David Cameron will learn that women across the country are not going to calm down,” she said,adding: “In fact they are getting angrier and angrier,louder and louder and they will continue to do so until this Tory-led government drops their deeply unfair plans that turn the clock back on women’s equality.”

Although his defenders say the comment was a joke with no wider meaning,Cameron’s critics claim that his privileged background and education at all-male Eton College make him unable to relate to women.
