Cockney Bob, say, interrupting female’s call for equality (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fair dos

'call for equality' is the definition.
(phrase used to request fair treatment)

'cockney bob say interrupting female's' is the wordplay.
'cockney bob say' becomes ''airdo' ('hairdo' - bob is a type of hairdo - said with the 'H' dropped - a cockney accent.).
'interrupting' is an insertion indicator.
'female's' becomes 'f's' (abbreviation).
'airdo' put into 'fs' is 'FAIR DOS'.

(Another definition for fair dos that I've seen is " Equal treatment".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
