It’s not just British politicians who have been caught insulting women in positions of power.

A whole list could be made devoted to the times President Donald Trump has insulted women – he has attacked Hilary Clinton, Maxine Walters and more, and of course was recorded talking about “grabbing women by the p****”, but one standout from when he was on the campaign trail in 2015 are his comments about former Fox News host Megan Kelly in 2015.

Trump was quizzed during a debate by Kelly on how he has called women he didn’t like “dogs, slobs and disgusting animals”.

Trump, with his notoriously thin skin, of course couldn’t let the question go, and took to Twitter after the debate to attack Kelly, saying she had “bombed”.

But it got worse. In the days after the debate he told CNN: “There was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.”

Two days later Trump tried to say he meant Kelly’s nose when he said “wherever”, but Trump is far from the first man who has implied a woman who has stood up for herself or said a harsh word is on her period.
