Michael Gove wrote an article arguing British men had been subject to a "collective cuckolding" and should learn to embrace male chauvinism in a story headlined ‘The male eunuch’.

Mr Gove's 2001 piece was published by then-Spectator editor Boris Johnson, who gave it front-cover billing under the title: "The male eunuch – what the wimpy British can learn from the chauvinism of the French".
