But asked by ITV if he would describe himself as a feminist, he said: “No, probably not.”

One senior female Tory last night said: “What about non-working women, stay at home Mums, what’s he think about them?

“Every candidate should be a feminist.”

Campaigners immediately argued the definition of feminists were those who advocate women’s rights on the grounds of equality.

The former Brexit Secretary in 2011 branded feminists “obnoxious bigots”.

At the time he argued men were getting a raw deal.

Challenged at the weekend he explained that the debate on equality had to be consistent and was too often marked by “double standards and hypocrisy”.

Allies last night pointed out Maria Miller – chair of the equality select committee – was one of the first to come out and support his leadership bid.
