      The world would be so much better with women in charge.

      The women in charge we end up with :

      (nb : I’m not saying women are incapable of power, just that assuming women would be great leaders is a stupid idea. There are examples of great/not horrid female leaders like Jacinda Ardern, but thatcher, this woman, Kirchner, theresa may, the lettuce woman are all terrible)

        Look, I’m not the biggest fan of Angela Merkel, but the dude before her and the two after were all worse. And she’s a whole world better than Thatcher.

          I purposely avoided putting her name in as she is a complex ruler who is largely average and debatable the same way most male leaders are and her decisions can be interpreted in multiple ways by multiple people…

          unlike May, thatcher or kitchner.

            I didn’t want to come off pissed. I’m sorry if it was perceived like that. Merkel could have done a lot of things a lot better, or could have started others she didn’t even touch. But at least I didn’t have the feeling she constantly and deliberately chose the worst option for the people.

            I guess people could interpret the decisions of Thatcher in multiple ways as well. Those people would be wrong though.

              You did not come across that way, just that you assumed I put in Merkel when I deliberately avoided putting her in, so in terms of tone and whatnot, there’s no problems.

              I guess people could interpret the decisions of Thatcher in multiple ways as well. Those people would be wrong though.

              With thatcher it’s a bit more straightforward for some of the things she did and it’s wide ranging impacts. I don’t think Merkel decimated entire regions of germany the way thatcher did to britain, even though she made some people very rich.

              Merkel may have made choices that had undesired impacts, but thatcher was really something else.
