Racial and gender inflammation for political purposes, like the article:

Meanwhile patriarchal power abuse remains so expected as to not be notable as a violation of norms or civility, as disruptive or chaotic. Instead, it simply coexists with the authority, the command, the humanity of white men — it’s just part of what their power looks like.

Any way that the founders of the Justice Democrats can use to promote race hate and division in this country. AOC is more than happy to play that game.

Hard to believe so many people were so unironically racist. Now I know that large numbers of Indians, Hispanics, and Turks hate my white male children. This was good to know. My parents, who didn't graduate High School, had no idea to educate me that brown people would be so unironicaly hateful of me for, you know, working in factories and not going to college.

This is valuable information. Non-white people hate my male children. Glad I found out before it was too late.

Although I understand where the article is coming from, I think that a praise of Ocasio-Cortez is more productive in the long run than a condemnation of Yoho. Let's not forget that politicians are very oftenly elected on chauvinistic political platforms, and any publicity is good publicity for them. It may be less about what's right here, and more about what's useful. Remembering only Ocasio-Cortez's name out of this story seems more impactful to me. Politicians dissappear when they are forgotten, usually when they are no longer relevant. Putting their name in headlines makes them relevant.

Jesus the times suck, is that a supposedly liberal news paper in America, doesn't look like it at all

this isn't a gender issue, it's the GOP propping AOC up as some sort of DNC bogeyman and the times being biased in its reporting. it doesn't generalize to some business context or your social circle.

Totally condemn the senators remark but still AOC is a con artist. She deserves no respect or attention but addressing her with a slew remark, that too in public, isn't very acceptable either.

But in all probability I think senator didn't say what he said because she is a woman but rather because she is a con artist (socialist) who is always bent on playing cheap politics.

I think AOC is trying to tie the remark made on her to rest of the women out there to garner more sympathy and hoping to come out as a much bigger vicitm than she actually is. The fact she brought up her "working job" cliche argument again in her recent speech clearly shows she is using all possible victim cards at her disposal to associate the remark made on her personally to a much bigger crowd.

Hopefully, she’ll be our president in ten years.

I’ll never understand how grown men work so well with one another, but can’t deal with a woman in their midst.

I’ve also never seen a male freak out on a woman this hard, in what you’d expect is a professional relationship.

AOC seems to be experienced in being treated like ‘a bitch.’

It just kills me that Yoho gets the political pass, when he violated every HR red flag when it comes to how to ‘deal with a female coworker you have a disagreement with.’

By all standards, he’s fired. Just because he’s elected, doesn’t mean he should not be recalled for just being who he is.

she’s a hypocrite and leftists have such a scary double standard for theirs vs republican politicians is downright horrifying

and her “standing up “ and being rewarded for the same thing democrats condemn from their opponents shows just how shallow and fake the entire democrat party is and how stupid people have to be to buy into it, which creates divides as you can imagine

She is exactly what feminism needs. She empowers women without degrading men as a whole. If more self styled feminists were like her, it would do a world of hurt to the anti women asshats out there. She shows exactly how to create equality by bringing women up instead of bringing men down.

She might put ideas into the heads of impressionable young people... Must be it !

The only people who are calling her "Disruptive" are people ive lost respect for long ago. Im not shocked by what they say nor do I expect better from them. I expect better from the people who vote

Really good points....worth the read

Historically, whenever the status quo is challenged those maintaining it call those who show their dissent disruptive. It's a fun delusion of mine that they use that word solely to avoid the lie of saying its wrong.

She had better stay in Congress, then run for the Senate. And then she had damn well better run for President.

I don't blame her for standing up for herself on this. It's her right. However, she and the left silence the right for speaking their rights. It's lopsided. I think most people dismiss her because she usually makes truly stupid comments. Like people are looting cause they need bread. Dumb. Just dumb.

Nothing. It’s good she stood up for herself but her ideas are dangerous to American safety and that’s the problem.

ummm.... oh! i know!

(raises hand high; waves arm around vigorously)

NOTHING GOP MOTHERFUCKERS

> Because until we can see how white men have taken advantage of sexism and racism for their own gain

Its dressed up very nicely; but this is a man hating hit piece, using the incident as an excuse.

Takes away from the current issues having America

Men are afraid of women in power. The only thing disruptive is all the little bitch men that get upset when a woman stands up for herself.

Pretty lady supposed to be Mommy. Mommy nice. Not nice Mommy is bitch.

The way she publicly called him out without any evidence other than hearsay shows the type of person she is. She wasn't standing up for anything. It was an opportunity to cry victim and it was completely irrelevant if it were true or not.

They used to call this sort of behavior "uppity" and the mindset still holds sway with the old guard gops.

People be told to like her and then they do.

why do we even accept the premise of the argument in order to prove it incorrect?

I would ignore the conservative response to AOC and continue to hammer away at their weaknesses.
