Just sayin'.
Human Super Powers[edit]
Mensch believes she has super powers.[72][73] During a March 2017 interview with the British TV program Sunday Politics Mensch explained her view that her ADHD is a biological basis for a temporary super power that enables her to "see patterns and connections and thats biological and I dont resile from it for a moment."[74][75]
Internet ventures[edit]
In June 2012, Louise Mensch joined forces with former Labour digital adviser Luke Bozier to set up a social networking website a politics-based rival to Twitter.[76][77] The site, named Menshn pronounced "mention" allowed users to select their topic of interest. Mensch hoped to raise venture capital finance.[78] After its launch, Mumsnet made Mensch a featured blogger on its blog network.[79] The site was initially criticised by IT industry experts for using http instead of secure https to communicate passwords. Bozier disputed this claim, but the site switched to the secure protocol.[80][81] Menshn closed in February 2013.[82]
After the closure of Menshn, Louise Mensch announced she was setting up a style and fashion blog called Unfashionista. The website was covered widely in the British press and received mixed reviews.[83][84][85][86] One of Mensch's pieces on Unfashionista was a reaction to allegedly sexist comments by Nobel Prize winner Tim Hunt. After researching the backgrounds of various people involved in the luncheon at which he spoke, Mensch wrote an exhaustive blog post criticizing the ethics of Connie St Louis, Deborah Blum and Ivan Oransky, the first three journalists to condemn Hunt's speech.[87][88]
Personal life[edit]
In 2000, she married Italian-American real estate developer Anthony LoCicero.[89] They have three children, but separated in 2009. The marriage ended in divorce.[90][35][91] In June 2011, she married music manager Peter Mensch, whom she had first met twenty years earlier. They reside in New York City.[92][93]
Louise Mensch is diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, which made her realise she was "self medicating" with wine for stress, and she has now almost completely given up alcohol.[94] She also commented that taking hard drugs in the 1990s "messed with [her] brain and had long-term mental health effects."[95][96]
