THE STRONGER SEX

If you want something said, ask
a man… if you want something
done, ask a woman.

Margaret Thatcher

You chaps don’t like short answers.
Or direct answers. Men like long
rambly, waffly answers.

Margaret Thatcher

On what she learned during her
time in politics:
Men are not a reasoned
or reasonable sex.

Margaret Thatcher

The cocks may crow, but it’s the hen
that lays the egg.

Margaret Thatcher

 

I owe nothing
to Women’s Lib.

Margaret Thatcher

Any woman who understands the
problems of running a home will be
nearer to understanding the problems
of running a country.

Margaret Thatcher

Most women defend themselves. It is
the female of the species… which tends
to defend when attacked.

Margaret Thatcher

The woman’s mission is not to
enhance the masculine spirit, but
to express the feminine.

Margaret Thatcher

I don’t notice that I’m a woman.
I regard myself as Prime Minister.

Margaret Thatcher

Being powerful is like being a lady.
If you have to tell people you are,
you aren’t.

Margaret Thatcher

No, they seem to like ladies.

Margaret Thatcher, when asked if she was surprised that
the male-dominated Conservative Party had elected her
as their leader

It’s easier for a woman than a man
to give up his power because you are
not so lost. A woman can fill the time
spring-cleaning the house.

Margaret Thatcher

I’d like to get on with the job without
being in the limelight all the time.
