Anyone seeing misogyny in Liz Truss being asked to resign after 45 days but Boris Johnson staying in power for over three years

[ChateauMargaux]

Or was she just not tough enough to brazen out her mistakes?

I think it was right and proper for Liz to go seeing the catastrophic decisions she made regarding the economy

However from a very human level I think the last few days must have been psycholigally difficult as the aprobium of the nation was poured on her through the press and social media as well as her own party

I think there was an article in the Mail where considerations of her children's wellbeing were a factor in her decision to resign Given that her children are both teenagers and at school it possibly must have been a challenge if their peers made comment on their mother's performance

I am not making any excuses for Liz but whether being a woman the effect on her family of being in the national spotlight with such intensity (even for. politician) was a particular concern I don't know

In her leadership campaign, Liz Truss outlined exactly what she would do. Rishi Sunak and many otheres outlined very clearly exactly what would happen and how this would be disastrous for the UK.

Liz Truss did not care. The Tory party faithful did not care and voted for her anyway.

No. There is no misogyny in her resignation. She monumentally fucked up from Day 1. Boris was awful too, but his big fuck ups happened later on during his term. He was ousted pretty quickly after making them.

She ignored her advisors- the civil servants and government economists you are referring to. She packed her cabinet with lobbyists and MPs who were part of a neoliberal group she founded in 2011.

Why else do you think the mini budget didn’t go through OBR? Why no IFS study was done? Why Jacob Reese Mogg dismissed the IMF as not knowing anything about economics?

She ignored the real experts.

I don't think it has anything to do with her being female. She was the wrong choice, made awful decisions, and needed to go.

I don't see why we have to defend cataclysmic incompetence just because the person committing it has ovaries.

She was shit though. The only reason she got the gig because she was less brown than Sunak and therefore marginally more palatable to the voters.
