Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Ted Yoho last Tuesday proved that good old fashion misogyny in politics is alive and well. After accosting AOC on the Capitol steps, the GOP lawmaker resorted to calling the representative of New York’s 14th congressional district a sexist slur—a word that many women in positions of power are all too familiar with. After their disagreement, Yoho called Rep. AOC a “f*cking b*tch.” To make matters worse, Yoho issued a speech that showed no remorse for his actions and even denied directing his profanity at Ocasio-Cortez. Leaning on the tired idea that knowing women means you respect women, Yoho even went so far as to remind the House that he is the husband to a wife and the father of two daughters. In a response that cleared our skin, watered our plants, and added to our bank account, AOC said what was exactly on our minds, and then some. “This issue is not about one incident. It is cultural. It is a culture of lack of impunity, of accepting of violence and violent language against women, and an entire structure of power that supports that.”
