And they probably still do when they wear skirts or dresses, just as Indian ladies do under their sarees.The phrase has a slightly sexist edge to it.Imagine if we referred to most governments of the world as Y-Front governments. Or, slightly more politely, jacket-and-tie governments.It makes you wonder what the clothes have to do with their governance, doesn’t it? So in the phrasing of a Petticoat Government to describe a female-majority government, the implication is that something about their female quality is influencing the way they govern – and from the speaker’s perspective, I’d suggest it was a negative something.
