However, while Ms Trevelyan described watching porn in the Commons chamber as 'completely unacceptable', she declined to say whether the MP should be sacked. She advised women subjected to that kind of behaviour to 'make public humiliation one of your tools'. 'These sorts of things, these power abuses that a very small minority, thank goodness, of male colleagues show is completely unacceptable.'
'We might describe it as wandering hands, if you like, we might describe it as, you know, a number of years ago being pinned up against a wall by a male MP who is now no longer in the House, I'm pleased to say, declaring that I must want him because he was a powerful man'. Ms Trevelyan told LBC Radio: 'I've witnessed and been at the sharp end of misogyny from some colleagues many times over'. She added: 'Fundamentally, if you're a bloke, keep your hands in your pockets and behave as you would if you had your daughter in the room.'
Ms Trevelyan told Sky News of male MPs: 'There are a few for whom too much drink, or indeed a sort of, a view that somehow being elected makes them you know, God's gift to women, that they can suddenly please themselves, that is never OK, that kind of behaviour, disrespect for women.'
