My original remark was not meant be to be sexist. I was merely pointing
out that Margaret Trudeau was not a very responsible individual. For,
instance, partying with the Stones in New York  is not something you
would expect of a dignitary's wife OR of the said dignitary. There are
other examples.

Thus, to reiterate, I was in NO way referring to Margaret Trudeau's looks,
or expecting more from her because she is a woman, than I would expect from
her husband. I was simply saying that it would be somewhat difficult
to consider her in the same league as, say, Maureen McTeer.
