The 2GB radio host criticised the award given by the University of Otago in New Zealand saying the move was making life 'harder for women'.

'It's hurting the progress that we're making in women's sport,' Ben Fordham said on his breakfast program on Tuesday.
'They think they're being inclusive but they're making life harder for women.'
The unlikely feminist said he feared the future of women's sport was at risk from the 'woke brigade', stressing it comes down to 'strictly biology'.
'Please, make this stop. When the sportswoman of the year is born a man political correctness has gone a mile too far,' Mr Fordham begged.
'If we keep on listening to the woke brigade there won't be a need for women's sport.
'It comes down to biology, men are usually - not always - stronger than women,' he added.
