I'm Irish and I don't need to tell you how Thatcher is viewed in Ireland.

The point was that she did a job that was traditionally seen as male. She did that job, very well. Her espousal of Victorian values suggested that the traditional female role was one that women could continue to follow without having to justify themselves. ie women could choose their own path.

In this way she walked the same path as women like Rosa Luxembourg or Countess Markievicz. Figures that may be more politically acceptable to some or none.

Barney I am also half Irish, we all know the Irish values.

The Irish women are strong people, they don't need someone like Margaret to let the rest of the world know who is in control. We can do this for ourselves.

Margaret had no influence upon myself and my beliefs, you cannot change what you have been brought up. Margaret Thatcher changed some things for the good, I will admit this. What she also did was make people believe that they could persue their careers at all costs. This is not acceptable when you have children,, they come first all the time. It is impossible to have it both ways, something has to give,and unfortunately we have to pay for this in Britain now.

Maggie was a self-absorbed person who's only goal in life was to be PM - at the cost of her family life, not a woman to admired to be quite honest - she didn't have it all she had a career in politics from a young age and that was all she cared about. She was practically a man - minus the tackle!

I'm not going to defend Thatcher. I think she is a murderer. I used her as an example of a strong woman from the right to illustrate a point about the evolution of the women’s movement.

I understand that, but I dont think she was a good example of a woman who has it all.

evolution of the women’s movement.

Women have achieved alot... let alone M. Thacher... Women have been presidents and prime ministers in the countries...

In Europe, in India, in Srilanka, Bangladesh... they have been breath-taking activists such as in Myanmar... they have been kind nurses such as Florence Nightingale... they have been brave and pious such as Mother Mary, Tahereh of Iran... Women have been educators, students and bringer of smiles.

This I realised when I was a kid :) ... my uncle was very dipressed on the time my aunt takes to dress up (she still takes that time)... he once said 'Women are never satisfied on how God made them... the time and money they spend to decorate themselves!' ... but then the thought came to me, which I expressed then... 'Women decorate themselves, because they are decorators. They decorate this world, and make is a more beautiful place to live in :)... for this they take some time.... shouldnt we give them?'

But ... I mention 'women' ... not just 'female'. A woman is a very broad term. A very meaningful and holy word.
