'Total own!' Mark Hemingway effortlessly shuts down troll who accuses him of not '[liking] women standing up for themselves'

Earlier this week, Texas high school valedictorian Paxton Smith made quite a splash with her speech advocating for abortion “rights.”

Here it is again:

RealClearInvestigations senior writer Mark Hemingway was among many conservatives who were decidedly unimpressed by Smith’s purported stunning bravery:

This is trending on Twitter, and it's a classic example of insane media narratives. You think if a valedictorian in a blue state gave a pro-life speech it would be national news? Either way, I'm tired of being told to care what a teenager thinks about a political issue. https://t.co/sxgfOwRWxl

Hemingway’s tweet managed to get the attention of this guy, @RaguJJ, who took it as proof that Hemingway has a problem with strong, empowered women:

Dont like women standing up for themselves huh? Should keep quiet and know her place

Actually, @RaguJJ, it’s you who should’ve kept quiet. But you didn’t, which is why you got owned:

Yes, I'm well known for my aversion to outspoken women. https://t.co/sfrWxIfW1o

For those who don’t know, like @RaguJJ, Mark Hemingway is married to Mollie Hemingway. And Mollie Hemingway … definitely isn’t known for not standing up for herself.

I love you.

Looks like those two complement each other quite well.

Total own!

Swing and a miss, @RaguJJ. Better luck next time (though if we were you, we wouldn’t try this again).
