Catfight Over Chef Comments - on International Women's Day

Isn't it depressing - people who say women will never achieve equality in this world until they can stop attacking each other got more material for their side in this exchange between a female British member of the European Parliament (what I think a Euro MP is) and one of England's leading cookbook authors. The MEP jokingly commented on some of Delia Smith's quick tips, giving the impression -or, giving a bunch of guys looking for a catfight the impression - that she was knocking Delia Smith's recipes as out of date and not recognizing time pressures on real women. Glenys Kinnock apologized, saying it was all a joke, and Delia brushed it off, but of course, the prospect of two women fighting on International Women's Day is just too appetizing to ignore.
