We get it.
Jessica Valenti is a feminist, and part of modern-day feminism is constantly playing the victim card when any woman (on their side) comes under criticism. Take for example the media writing about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s $300 hairdo. The main reason the media covered this (although really it is a non-story) is that $300 for a hairdo seems like an awful lot of money for a socialist who complains about rich people all of the time to spend.
It has ZERO to do with her sex.
1) this would obvs never be a story about a man
2) this is not an expensive haircut/color for a public figure who is frequently on TV
3) if her hair was raggedy, that would be the lead story instead
4) ????https://t.co/CyXaQ860ts

Notice she says it would NEVER be a story about a man.
That’s important.
She continued.
Sorry you don’t get to create beauty standards that require women to spends hundreds or thousands a year to be considered presentable and then hate us for it

IT’S ALL A PLOT. A PLOT! DOWN WITH THE PATRIARCHY!
Except there have been plenty of men in politics who have been criticized for what they’ve spent on their appearance … like John Edwards.
Umm…@JessicaValenti…I guess you're too young to remember the controversies about both Bill Clinton and John Edwards getting massively expensive haircuts, the former stopping Air Force One on a taxiway to let the stylist on board. https://t.co/My5HihgHY9

HA HA HA HA HA HA
1) meet John Edward's https://t.co/apROW9t7lo
2) yes it is.
3) you are right but it doesnt take $300 haircuts to look presentable in public

John Edwards, Mitt Romney, and Rick Perry’s all had multiple articles written about their hair cuts – Perry swore by a 25 dollar haircut, while Edwards and Romney both cleared 800/month whil campaigning. It was a big deal. https://t.co/WYSAAvVCwb

$800 a month on their hair.
Wowza.
Unless John Edwards haircut is secretly behind oppressing Hong Kong or killing Jeffery Epstein I don’t know why it’s trending.

In other words, yes, everything is still stupid.
You’re welcome.
