A female president means diddly-squat! Britain's first female PM wrecked Britain!
Promoting Hillary because of of her gender is nonsensical. Margaret Thatcher wrecked Britain for everyone but the wealthy, those with lots of money benefited, everyone else suffered.
One of the strongest similarities and the most worrying is that Hillary, like Thatcher is a war hawk, with no problem unleashing the dogs of war and cosying up to brutal regimes.
Hillary has shown her hand, she will do nothing to change the status quo and the status quo isn't acceptable.

voting for Hillary Clinton because she's a woman or because they think it's time for a woman president. The dim wittedness of that argument in favor of Clinton ("she's a woman!"
is so demoralizing. Oh well, our reputation abroad is not as a nation of brainiacs, quite the opposite. The weirdest example of the "she's a woman" line of reasoning I've come across was via a Nightline interview with an elderly, well-off woman in New York city. By way of an explanation of why she was voting for Clinton, the woman responded with the question "I think it's time for a woman as president, don't you?" and then she was asked if she trusted Clinton and she responded with a very long pause and then something along the lines of "everyone knows politicians aren't trustworthy." If it weren't for all the voter suppression, media propaganda, bribery etc., I might say that this country is going to get what it deserves (I think if an open election were held today, Bernie Sanders would win). The human characteristics of short sightedness and badly understood self interest are our ruination.
