As Twitchy told you earlier, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went after Kellyanne Conway for using the term “catfight” to describe her ongoing feud with Nancy Pelosi. According to AOC, “catfight” is a “sexist term Republicans use”:
“Catfight” is the sexist term Republicans use when two adult women happen to disagree with each other.
The reason they find it so novel &exciting is bc the GOP haven’t elected enough women themselves to see that it can, in fact, be a normal occurrence in a functioning democracy. https://t.co/s6eMMmvzrd

Fox News contributor Lisa Boothe was one of many who pointed out that Conway being a woman kind of throws a wrench in AOC’s argument:
Yes, Kellyanne is sexist towards women. That makes total sense.

And, as usual, instead of backing off and admitting that maybe she’d gotten a little bit ahead of herself, AOC grabbed her shovel and doubled down:
Just when you think all hope is lost, we get a Fox News contributor to realize that patriarchy has no gender ? https://t.co/sMCYk6i31I

Yeah, the word “patriarchy” is definitely not gender-specific or anything.

I understand that this is meant in metaphor, but it literally does have a gender.

You people and your words-have-meanings hangups.
Yeah in order to have a gender it would need to exist. https://t.co/5HFfOelLeD

Heh.
But clearly patriarchy has no gender if AOC, as a stunning and brave woman, thinks it’s cool to disparage Lisa Boothe for having a successful FNC gig. Sexism for AOC, not for thee!
(Being a woman does not mean you’re immune from being bad to women or genderqueer people. Just like being a man doesn’t mean you don’t have a role in the movement for gender equity! We are all in this together.)

(No, “we” are not.)
Is this a parody account ?

Are you and your lemmings seriously going to act like what you just said made sense?

You bet they are.
White women are the pillars of the patriarchy. It’ll collapse when we stop supporting it.

You in Congress isn't everything, but It's made 2019 bearable. Really it's nice when people see the same craziness we do. Love ya AOC, Stay Fierce

The lack of general knowledge by FOX News contributors and hosts is why nearly 60% of their statements have been proven to be false.
Yet somehow they've managed to brainwash a fanbase that refuses to fact check them.

Ha! But enough about AOC.
