Mr Hunt is considered a high flyer with the Labour Party. Last month he attracted controversy following an appearance on BBC's Question Time Show after appearing to question the quality of education provided by nuns.

Speaking on International Womens Day, Mrs Morgan denied suggestions that Mr Cameron was an innate sexist, saying that the Prime Minister was in fact a feminist.

She said: Ive had a conversation with him and actually I think he absolutely is a feminist, hes on the side of women, hes done a huge amount to get women into the Cabinet.

If you think of all the women who are in the Cabinet at the moment, they are Conservatives. The Lib Dems have not put any women MPs into the Cabinet and the Prime Minister is absolutely on the side of making sure that women have the best possible opportunities, as is the Chancellor, as is actually I think all of my male colleagues.

Asked if she found the House of Commons, and Prime Ministers Question Time in particular, an intimidating place to be in as a woman, Mrs Morgan went on: I personally dont.

In fact actually standing up and speaking in the House of Commons is a tiny part of what Members of Parliament do.

The work we do in our constituencies, in our surgeries, helping people, making the case for our areas to government, that is something that women are absolutely brilliant at doing.

Earlier this year Mrs Morgan was forced to deny a suggestion that she was not in charge of education policy and that Michael Gove, her predecessor and the current Leader of the House, remained in control of her department.

War on Terror By Michael Allen, Mon, February 16, 2015

Possible 2016 Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson believes there should not be any rules during wartime.

During an interview with Fox News on Feb. 16, Carson complained that people who didn't understand how the U.S. military works were mismanaging the military, noted RealClearPolitics.com (video below).

Carson didn't mention any specific people or examples, but added that he would send U.S. ground troops to fight the Islamic State group.

Later in the interview, Carson said there should not be any rules during war. This would violate the Geneva Conventions and legalize war crimes, reports Mediaite.com.

Carson also made the claim that soldiers were being told that they were doing something that was "politically incorrect, but gave no examples.

"Our military needs to know that theyre not going be prosecuted when they come back, because somebody has said, 'You did something that was politically incorrect,'" said Carson. "There is no such thing as a politically correct war. We need to grow up, we need to mature. If youre going to have rules for war, you should just have a rule that says no war. Other than that, you know, we have to win. Our life depends on it."

Michael Brown holds a Ph.D. in Near Eastern Languages and Literatures from New York University and has served as a professor at a number of seminaries. He is the author of 25 books and hosts the nationally syndicated, daily talk radio show, the Line of Fire.

Now that TIMEMagazine has told us that transgender is the new black, I'm going to say something politically incorrect: Your gender is not whatever you think it is. Put another way, there is no such thing as, "My gender is 'fill in the blank.'"

Unfortunately, Facebook didn't get the memo, and so, according to AP's Martha Mendoza, "Facebook users who don't fit any of the 58 gender identity options offered by the social media giant are now being given a rather big 59th option: fill in the blank." (Yes, I know this sounds crazy, but it's true.)

One year ago, I reportedon Facebook's new policy that offered American users 50 ways to describe their gender, including up to 10 different descriptions simultaneously.

Unknown to me, that number somehow increased to 58, as noted in the most recent report. But 58 "gender identity options" were obviously not enough. Some people needed another option, one they could quite literally make up themselves.

As Mendoza explains, "Facebook software engineer Ari Chivukula, who identifies as transgender and was part of the team that made the free-form option, thinks the change will lead to more widespread acceptance of people who don't identify themselves as a man or woman."

Come again? By allowing people to describe their gender however they imagine it to be, this will lead to "more widespread acceptance" for them? And you can be a human being without having to identify "as a man or woman"?

In the vast majority of cases here, we're not talking about someone with a serious, biological or chromosomal issue, because of which their gender identity is debatable.

We're talking about people who are biologically male or female but are convinced in their minds that they are something other than their biological sex either the opposite of their biological sex (and so, a man trapped in a woman's body or vice versa) or some other variation (no fixed gender; alternating genders; multiple genders; no gender).

The presidential candidate's remarks on homosexuality are more likely to help than hurt his political aspirations.

You might think Ben Carsons recent comments suggesting that prison turns people gay have hurt his presidential campaign. I dont buy it. In fact, I suspect theyll improve his chances.

First, Carsons supporters agree with what he said. According to a March 2014 Washington Post poll, 48 percent of conservative Republicans think being gay is something you choose while only 39 percent disagree. If you polled the activists on the Christian-right most likely to back Carsons campaign, that figure would probably be even more lopsided.

Second, it wont exactly shock Carsons backers to hear that hes anti-gay. Last March, Carson made headlines for linking gays to members of NAMBLA, the man/boy love society, and to people who believe in bestiality. Liberals pounced. But theres no evidence Carsons comments hurt his nascent presidential campaign. In fact, polls in key primary states regularly show Carson running ahead of candidates like Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Rick Perry, who the press takes more seriously.

Carsons anti-gay reputation may hurt him among Republican elites, which could help explain why, after his prison comment, he has now backtracked. But among the hard-right activists hes courting, Carsons ability to offend is key to his appeal.

The Politics of Sexuality

Being politically incorrect is a big part of Carsons brand. In his 2009 book, The Big Picture, Carson argues that the obsession with politically correct speech has reduced the quality of meaningful dialogue and discourages honesty. And he claims that the two issues on which political correctness takes the greatest toll are abortion and gay rights. In the 2013 National Prayer Breakfast speech that helped catapult him to political fame, Carson said, PC is dangerous, because you see, this country, one of the founding principles was freedom of thought and freedom of expression. And it muffles people. Last month, Carson declared that theres no such thing as a politically correct war.

Statements like this make right-wingers stand up and cheer. Last December, after Carson spoke to 900 adoring fans at a forum sponsored by the Christian right group Family Leader, the groups president, Bob Vander Plaats, told CNN, It is like a breath of fresh air when he talks about not being politically correct and how he wont be controlled by the PC police and he will say what needs to be said. That message really resonated.

It particularly resonates, I suspect, because Carson is black. Theres no subject on which conservatives feel as harassed by the PC police as on race. Thus, to hear an African American denounce political correctness offers a special thrill. And for conservatives, the fact that Carson, despite being African American, is regularly stopped and frisked by the PC police himself, proves that maybe liberals are the real racists after all. After Carsons comments comparing homosexuality to bestiality, Sean Hannity declared that, The left just has daggers out for him. You cant be African American and conservative without breaking some liberal rule.

To stay in the public conversation, Ben Carson must keep committing gaffes like the one he committed this week. After all, hes never held elective office and has little command of policy. Hes not offering a governing agenda; hes fighting the culture war. And the more fiercely he fights it, the more excited conservatives are to have him on their side.
