Margaret Thatcher embodies feminist ideals

A woman who achieved real power, on her own terms, and stood firm even if the entire world called her a monster.


You could hate the woman for her politics, but at least recognize she is a woman in a man's world who bowed to nobody.

There are a lot of female leaders in politics. Theresa May is another example. What is your point?

She achieved power on 1979. Feminism in the US was only about a decade or two old at that point (No idea about UK equivilents).

And my point is that:

1. She was a trailblazer. The women you mention come much later.

2. You don't like her. A lot of people didn't like her. And she wouldn't bend.

And isn't that really the whole point of feminism? That a woman doesn't need to impress you or anybody else, and can become what they want to become. You don't like it, they'll just walk around you, or on top of you if need be.


I think that's an admirable thing, personally.

She was cool.

Even if I didn't already like her before coming to this site, I would after learning how all the leftists here disliked her.

That's a good rule of thumb to follow: if leftists/socialists don't like someone, it probably means he or she is actually a good person. wink

If they do like someone a lot, it probably actually means that person is NOT actually a good person. wink

Obviously there would be some rare exceptions to this rule though.

That's kind of facetious.

I could post Obama or really any world leader with a monster. That's simply a reality of politics, and does not mean condoning a thing.


But you actually play into my point with your attempt to argue against her character.


Which was never my point to begin with. I never called her a good leader, or a good person.

A woman who got elected to one of the most powerful positions on the planet.


Don't confuse looking at what she symbolizes with romanticizing the person. All I'm saying is feminism argues that women, as a group, should not need anyone's permission to live or achieve.


And she certainly lived as she wanted to, and achieved greatness, in the face of mass disapproval.


That is the feminist ideal.

She was a good leader though.

Keep in mind though, any leader jaden actually would give his seal of approval for would be one that probably supports mass infantacide so.... yeah, I don't take his " she committed genocide!!" arguments seriously anymore than I take the arguments seriously from people in general who support abortion/baby murder but then try to lecture us about "if we can save just one life with gun control it is worth it!" or "if we can save just one life by forcing vaccines on people then it'
s worth it!!" bullshit.

She was popular and achieved great things, despite some things that are worthy of criticism. As if anyone doesn’t know this? Why make this thread?

It's the first time I mentioned him in this thread. Whirly commented to him and you said he's trolling, so assumed you were directing to Jaden being trolled..
