It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that since Jimmy Kimmel is a politically ignorant blowhard, his writers are, too. Take Bess Kalb, for instance, who decided to educate her followers with a clarification about the Second Amendment:

Stupid tweet, right? But if you’re gonna call her out on it, you’d better not be a guy:
Well, it's incorporated into the Constitution, right? The amended version.

Pssst! Beth! When a guy points out that you’re saying something dumb, it’s not sexist. It’s pointing out that you’re saying something dumb. Because you’re, you know, saying something dumb.

We managed to find plenty of people — men and women — who would also like to point out that you’re saying something dumb.

To be fair, your original point was a pretty weak "Well, actually" itself.

Unnecessarily harsh! Your OP doesn’t make much sense.

And what about this amendment?
@oblivious_dude MMMMRRROWWWL! Who's gonna tell her about the Nineteenth
Amendment? ?— (((L.N. Smithee))) (@LNSmithee) October 9, 2017
"Real quick seems worth clarifying the Nineteenth Amendment isn't in the Constitution. It's an amendment to the Constitution."
— Farvoo (@FarvooF3rn) October 9, 2017
So is the Nineteenth Amendment. Would you like to 'clarify' that one? https://t.co/y7Z5vNorBt

Excellent point.
Women voting…

Whoops!
If Bess doesn’t want to be on the receiving end of a “mansplanation” next time, here’s something she could try:
Don't say stupid things then, Bess.

Update:
Bess was so confident in the rightness of her clarification that she deleted it. Is there a man out there who can explain to her that the internet never forgets? The internet won’t forget this, either:
First she says 2nd Amnd not in Constitution, then says @pojanowski's comment sexist bc she doesn't know the Amendment. ?♀️ @xan_desanctis pic.twitter.com/RPqaLHXHdH
