Today's #VintageMagTweets are about the way women in politics are spoken of in the media. The clippings all come from the 70s or 80s.

Can you imagine a similar headline about Biden and Trump?

"Blonde bombshell"... "pin up".

I mean, what the flip??

Two world leaders meeting, this is.

Lawton said something about, oh, I don't know.

A comment on Margaret Thatcher.

And, let's be honest, that's what matters, isn't it?
