The Labour peer, 79, derided the Great British Bake Off hostess, 78, for her “stable and unchanging” opinions of the world.
In an outspoken interview with the Daily Mail, Baroness Bakewell contrasted the baking Queen’s comments about life with her own “whizzy” living.
“When I read that, I felt that Mary belonged in a completely different world,” she told the newspaper.
“What she said sounded very lovely and cosy and rural, and very stable and unchanging. I thought that was fine for her.
“But perhaps I have lived a bit more of a whizzy life out and about, and my life has been a little bit more rackety. Of course feminism has mattered a great deal to me and matters still.”

15 Jan 2013She added: “I think Mary would expect to be paid a decent wage for the job she does and she would probably expect to be paid as much as a man. So to that extent she is a feminist without realising it.”
Renowned for her liberal attitudes towards sex and for an illicit affair with Harold Pinter, the Baroness was once known as the “thinking man’s crumpet”.
Her seven-year affair with the playwright occurred while they were both married. Twice divorced, she now lives alone in Primrose Hill, north London.
Her intervention came after Miss Berry dismissed feminism as a “dirty word” and insisted she did not want women’s rights.
She also admitted that she loved it when men offered to carry her coat. She added: “I’m thrilled to bits. I’m not a feminist.”
Baroness Bakewell insisted such gestures should be “common decency” for both sexes.
Miss Berry, a cookery writer who is one of three judges on the BBC Two show, has not responded to the comments.
