Like Gillard a lot of people just didn't like Thatcher just because she was a woman.

I thought it was because Thatcher was English and on the ginger spectrum.

Things That Please Me.

Going to the Railway Club again this week for a work lunch, those steaks are ******* excellent (though in all honesty I get as good a result doing the Costco Rib Eyes sous vide at home)

It's funny how criticism of Gillard was always gendered yet Thatcher seems to be fair game for comments like this. It's almost like gender is less important than policies and performance in the role.
No I don't, but it's not important. Like I said, I watched a whole special about Gillard bemoaning some of the language (like bitch) she copped when in power and how it's not appropriate no matter what she did/didn't do.
For the record politics is a dirty game and I don't really care what you call Thatcher, just feel like its worth pointing out the hypocrisy.
That's fine and I'll accept that no problems. It's a shame more Labor supporters didn't see criticism of Gillard the same way.
I just googled it and fair cop, I understand why you hate her.
Like i said before, it appears policies and political leanings are more important than gender in my opinion.
Gillard was a left wing PM that was against the human right for gay people being allowed to get married when she was in power. Doesn't get much more embarrassing for the cheerleaders.
I don’t know mate, you’d have to ask them. But of course they would say their criticism has nothing to do with her gender as well .

It's the use of bitch that the_interloper is talking about not whether Thatcher deserves to be hated

Even my friend in Canberra admits that the sexism towards Gillard got out of hand but also that it "did the job" yet still we have people trying to pretend like it never existed or exercising ridiculous false equivalency.

Gendered insults are always gendered insults whether you think the person you are directing them at deserves them or not is a different question
If you don't want someone calling Gillard a witch or bitch but are fine to use it on Thatcher then your issue isn't with misogyny its with who its directed at
Thatcher was an evil campaigner a truly terrible human who's politics has been a blight on the world, but that doesn't change the above
