True but she is stupidly drunk.

Btw Darwin was fucked up . He married his first cousin and consequently had 10 fucked up inbred children.

“He fretted that the ill health of his children might be due to the nature of the marriage, and he came to that because of his work on plants. He realized that with breeding of any kind, it’s better to cross-breed than to put close relatives together”

Marrying your cousin was common in Victorian England, and he was very concerned that longterm cousin marriages between his and his wife's aristocratic families might have been the cause for his children who died or suffered ill-heath. He was even smarter than we give him credit for.

After his daughter died at 10 years old he was deeply distressed and wrote:

"When we hear it said that a man carries in his constitution the seeds of an inherited disease there is much literal truth in the expression. We are a wretched family & ought to be exterminated."

Yep - knowledge from independent reading to acquire more information., context and the bigger picture -

certainly changes the value of a lot of these sound bites people use.

It's crazy when you look at the men that the education system pushes and realise how many were degenerate idiots who we should perhaps not take too seriously or should be more forgiving of !
