Webb explained that he expects his six-year-old daughter, Esme, to face a barrage of gender expectations soon, as she goes through school.

He told anchor Krishnan Guru-Murthy: ā€œWell, we have this thing in our family called ā€˜the trickā€™.

ā€œā€˜The trickā€™ is the family code word for the oncoming tide of gender nonsense that my daughters and their male friends at primary school are going to have to spend their lives wading through.

ā€œYou know, gender conditioning essentially.

ā€œThe way boys and girls are told that they have to behave in different ways, and that they have different roles to play in life, depending on the content of the front of their pants rather than the content of their character.ā€

He then explains that his daughter wanted to wear a superman costume instead of a princess outfit to non-uniform day at school.


Asked by Webbā€™s wife what their daughter should say, should other kids laugh, the six-year-old answered: ā€œShall I tell them theyā€™re laughing because of ā€˜the trickā€™ that makes men sad and women get rubbish jobs?ā€

The TV interview has now been viewed almost a million times on Facebook.
