I might be wrong but that's what is coming across...
She has lived her life in a male dominated parliament...she demands respect. Of all the women in there who worked in a similar environment and did so much for those poor girls...and resigned after years of service based on morale grounds, you would have thought Ann would have held Maggie in high esteem...
It's all a bit bizarre...anyone else agree?

I disagree. You have nothing for comparison since she hasn't had a man and a women rubbing their butts on furniture to see how she behaves to both.

She can like men, it's allowed, it doesn't mean she doesn't like women.

I think what Maggie is saying about Ann and the Rochdale case is very low and Maggie has sunk in my estimation considerably tonight.

For one thing Ann retired from all cabinet office in 2001 to be a backbencher. In 2010 Ann retired completely from politics. She was never in a position where she would have had access to or been involved in the Rochdale case.
