"I love women with powerful intellects."

That would be a very large plurality of women. The intellect and wisdom of women is the greatest untapped resource on this planet.

I've studied Hypatia.. She cuts a noble figure. The Romans were right to throw Christians to the lions.

Inflamed by Cyril, a mob of Christian fanatics flayed her to death with broken tiles

An excellent example of kindness of religion.
