As as the topic (Corbyn saying 'stupid whatever') is concerned it shows how (some) people put defending their politics - no matter what the side - above every other concern.

You see that a lot in American politics (with its entrenched divisions) with people will defend the actions of a politician they would condemn if it was on the other side.

I've noticed a lot of people who would usually wheel out the old "snowflake" and "Virtue Signalling" are now suddenly aware that sexism and misogyny exist and are bad.

People weaponising social justice is the main reason we're sliding backwards. Too many extremists that pushed for outrage were presented as the image of social justice and the side that opposed it now have realised the benefits of faux outrage and indignation.

I've said it a few times but it's pure Piers Morgan tactics.

The uproar of this all , anyone would think he called May the C word.

And I didn't realise saying "stupid woman" was the worst thing ever , what about words like "bitch" .

I bet Corbyn can be called a "stupid man " a million times a day and nobody would care .

This has once again turned into sexism BS over spilt milk, no wonder they're in such a mess over Brexit when they focus on trivial stuff .

It's not even the moral high horse though it's PC gone mad as usual , if i was Corbyn whether you like him or not i would own it and say "YES I DID SAY STUPID WOMAN AND WHAT OF IT" , as Teresa May hasn't got a clue what she's doing as PM .

Like i said if he called her something more degrading then fair enough , but both men & women in politics can be referred to as stupid regarding their poor leadership skills and terrible decisions and their gender has nothing to do with it . I hate how suddenly it shifted from the matter at hand to sexism BS .
