She is a genius and has got to where she is for her incredible IQ and hard work. She is also much loved and a national treasure, almost everyone knows who she is by name in this country

How is it sexist? It’s literally a fact that maths graduates are largely males... even in my A level maths class we had 1 girl and 16 boys... it’s similar at uni it’s about 70%-90% males based on where you go

even at 20% women, it's still a lot of women in maths, not a few

Thank you BOTs. Coupled with Aristas response that grown women struggle with maths, it wasn't not sexist

She's a brilliant mathematician.
She may well even be a genius in some way.

It doesn't stop her however of being incapable of being wrong, of not accusing people falsely, or even to not engage in hate campaigns.

In fact she set out to lead one publicly too.

Or if someone's a perceived genius, does that to some, mean they can then do what they like, as long as they are only doing so against people those some don't like.

Because that would be a very worrying society indeed.

One thankfully the courts overall still take a stand against.

If she does have an IQ of 170+ then she is indeed classed as genius

Still doesn't make her right in everything.
I couldn't care what her IQ is..
If she engages in hate campaigns a high IQ doesn't excuse that.

No matter what you say.

Don't believe the bullsh1t, especially from anyone boasting that no one is as alt right as them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt-right

https://www.jacobinmag.com/2019/04/b...fascism-corbyn

Forty-two years ago today, antifascists beat back a violent, far-right mob that had descended on a diverse neighborhood of North London. Among the antifascist organizers was a young Labour councillor named Jeremy Corbyn.

I'm not a hardcore far right supporter. I'm from N.Ireland where he spent his time fraternising with IRA terrorists in the 70's and attending their rallies and funerals, and worse....and my father was in a position to know of him and his activities very well.

The IRA also held major sway over the US government across both parties.

I think sometimes as a unionist, you don't realise how obvious the republican cause appears. Corbyn has been a lifelong campaigner for peace, so unless you can offer some explicit proof of him encouraging/supporting terrorism and terrorist acts, beyond innuendo about your da, then I fail to see what relevance any of this has.

Peace my arse. I'm not interested in your ignorant denials, save them for someone who doesn't know any better.
Edited to add: don't call my father your 'da'. He was a very respected and loved SDLP politician.
