By now Portia understands very well the power of the gender card, and her astute political mind knows when to trump it from the deck and when to threaten to do so. She knows she can kill any direct confrontation with a reporter or a colleague in Parliament by merely accusing her antagonist of trying to exert pressure on her simply because she's a woman.
Witness how she counter-punched Audley Shaw in Parliament on November 12 during the NHT-Outameni debate, by suggesting that he was raising his voice and shouting at her, simply because she's a woman.
I smiled when she did it and broke into a grin at the realisation that this country has an ultimate leader who it cannot really criticise.
