What do you really know about Margret Thatcher both domestically and on the world stage name where without Ronald Reagan's help she would have floundered. Without Ronald Reagan's leadership, the USSR would still be a living breathing threat. For all that the British Commonwealth is capable of, there is no way Britain or Mrs. Thatcher could have broken the soviet economy or won the cold war.
It took a strong willed Conservative alpha male.
Currently, with Communist China emerging as an economic super power and islam remaining a worldwide terrorist threat, Americans can't afford to go wobbly now.

Would you vote for an alpha male liberal (if one exists) over a conservative woman?

Very few countries on their own could have achieved this if any. Yes it was prodomiently down to Ronald Reagan he was a man of the times. Communism had run its course certainly in Eastern Europe and he was in a position and had the intelligence and foresight to exploit that.
This is a separate issue though what we are talking about is not the power of a country but the ability of a woman to do the job the example you gave relates to the country's power and not the person.
