Margaret Thatcher died today.

Her death will be used by many progressive intellectuals, to spout out as many sexist and misogynistic terms as they please.

I think Thatcher's policies were harmful, and hurt many hard working people.

But I don't think her death should be used to demean all women with the use of terms that are clearly used to attack women in general.

I'm sure we'll see B*tch, C*unt, hag, numerous times on the internet today along with many other sexist stereotypes.

Today you will see many progressives resorting to using sexism and misogyny to show their utter contempt for a woman and in doing so harming all women. They will not be able to stop themselves, they will say it is true of her, without recognizing that they are perpetuating sexism and misogyny.
