Ah yes, the goodness coming out of vaginas twitter thread. That was good.

Just the other day there was something about female world leaders who wouldn't put up walls / start wars / whatever.

My standard line is that I have two words for anyone who thinks that women are more virtuous or admirable than men, just because they're women.

Those words are: Margaret. Thatcher.

Sure, win the easy way. :p

Also:

Pauline Hanson
Jane Halton
Betsy DeVos
Theresa May...

Nor was Elizabeth Graves - evil, I mean - and she worked on some of the same sub-projects that Woods did.

As for Mary Walton, the smokestacks she patented polluted less than other smokestacks; that's what she built them for. So I wouldn't call her evil either.

Ilse Koch and Brenda Spencer, though, go right ahead.
