As I posted earlier in the thread, it’s basically calling her a trumped up secretary, taking a traditionally women’s job and belittling it.
So far a few have tried to give examples of nicknames for men as comparable, but I’ve yet to see one that is. |
That's an interesting interpretation, mine was that she was behaving like an accountant rather than.economist. I've worked with female CEOs and Directors most of which have been very capable. My sister in law is a fire fighter, my daughter in law is an aircraft engineer and my wife worked as an actuary, I don't automatically see women as a secretary.
I think if you state on your CV that you worked as an economist when you were working in complaints you are going to get some stick as a politician, no matter who you are. |  |

Which ones of those are based on sex?
As I said, I’ve no issue with Reeves the incompetent/useless etc., it’s the latent sexism I don’t like.
Edit: I’ve thought of one. The Grocer’s Daughter for Thatcher. Not sexist but snobbery. The same in that it puts an unnecessary barrier up.

"Which one is based on sex?" (of the male nicknames)
At a stretch it could be argued that some appear to be based on disvalued male work stereotypes (Spreadsheet Phil) or the implication that a male does something stereotypically associated with females (Mogadon Man). The obvious one with a gender dimension is Hunt's nickname, an insulting reference to a defining female characteristic. | | | |

You could definitely make that argument but I wouldn’t say they either of those made common parlance as the one for Reeves.
I’ve leave it there as I’ve said my bit. | | | |

I think you need to put the spade down Gwyn😉 |
I think it's fuss about nothing. Nobody claims sexism when "Tony Bliar" was used but that is his name and a blatant accusation of dishonesty.
Sexist, Mysogynistic, I don't think so, a bit of a dig definitely but why is it nearly always ok to use derogatory terms about men but not women?
What happened to equality? Well we know that but even so. | | | |
