How can being young, female and a SNP MP, means she is disadvantaged in three ways?
Maybe disadvantage in one way but never three.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I find it amazing how some folk look and find something derogatory where chances are none exist. Endearing labels are meant to be friendly; and folk will be enquiring how things are with someone who is so young and in such a responsible position. Its the sort of position where this sort of thing should be like "water off a duck's back". MPs can't afford to, "sweat the small stuff", as some say these days.
Mhairi Black wasn't generally whinging. She was talking to other women at a conference, about her experiences. And I am sure her speech contained more than this one sentence.
