I recall that when Margaret gthatcher was attacking the trade unions 
there were certain elements that raised teh slogan "Ditch the bistch!" 
This was opposed by most revolutionaries and socialsists because it 
targeted her for her gender and not her politics. We were able to find 
plenty of other things to say about her without resorting to blatant 
common-or-garden sexism.
