Boy, do the Republican Men of America have no idea how to to deal with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. A strong, smart, passion, uncowed woman who runs circles around then in intellect, relatability and empathy. So this week when Florida Man and somehow elected GOP Rep. Red Yoho called AOC a “fucking bitch” on the steps of the Capitol steps in front of reporters, he thought he’d scored such an epic burn. And then the poor dumb mysoginistic bastard issued a non-apology apology on the House floor where he said, “I cannot apologize for my passion or for loving my God, my family, or my country.”He also used his wife and daughters as shields, because no man with a wife or daughters has ever demeaned women before. Cleary.
And so this was AOC’s response. Every woman in America and the world knows her words to be true. Every woman in America and the world has experienced misogynistic hate from men. As she says, this is not new and that is the problem. But the more women who stand up both for themselves and other women, and call out men for their actions and others for their inaction, the more we tackle the misogyny that remains very much a part of our culture - from Washington D.C. to across this country and around the damn globe. Happy safe, healthy and righteous weekend, all.
