Could you help me understand this Queen Margaret monologue?

you've got to remember that margaret wears the pants but Shakespeare is using her speech to update the audience of the historical context and to progress the action of the play forward. margaret is generally sarcastic and biting in her speeches and it is her downfall that she is sharp tongued. not something admired in women but perhaps a dig at shakespeare's own dominant mother and wife
