We should all get a fair chance, that's all.

Btw: I've read a number of posts by you recently that I liked a lot.

EDIT: just remembered that she's not first minister any more. You know who I meant, anyway.


Theresa May? I think she's still Prime Minister. I quite like her, but I'm not particularly fond of politicians generally, so perhaps I only dislike her less than some of the others who could have become PM instead of her.

Yes, we would not know if women would or wouldn't make a better job of running the world (assuming they would even want to, I personally would not, lol) until it happened, which it isn't all that likely to do in my lifetime.

And even if they did run the world, they'd probably have to contend with a relcalitrant male backlash.
