Outspoken comedian Margaret Cho has spoken about her history of abortions, her love life and her politics on the podcast Dinky, co-hosted by Erika Abdelatif.

Talking about her abortion history she said: "The other people that I've gotten pregnant by would've [fathered] formidable nepo babies now . . . They were both really accomplished, super handsome men in entertainment. I would've won the Wasian Olympics. I would've had the Hudson Williams of our era . . . The caliber of the semen that we're talking about was high end."

On men in politics she added: "Men are so emotional and they never get over that emotionality, whereas women actually do; that emotionality starts to recede with the hormones. So in your fifties, you are the most clear-minded that you'll ever be. Men never achieve that in a lifetime. So we should not have men in positions of power at all. There should not be any men as heads of government. They're far too emotional. They're far too unpredictable because their hormones rage for their entire lives. Whereas women, we have an actual release from it and we become logical."

Margaret Cho is on tour with her new show, Choligarchy in 2027. Dates here.

The podcast is available at all usual podcast outlets.
