Some progressives respond to AOC's speech on sexism

Emma Vigeland notes that Yoho's remarks on sexism and misogyny were "clear in his horrific confrontation" with AOC. She understands that AOC is a lightening rod for such sexism because Repugnantans are afraid of progressive change. She is a strong supporter of the type of social justice that challenges their worldview, and misogyny is part of that worldview. Emma appreciates having a public figure like AOC advocate for all the women who feel powerless when subjected to the same rampant treatment in the workplace.

Ana Kasparian thinks AOC should revel in being a badass that gets under the skin of angry old misogynists. The latter have held the power for far too long and they should indeed squirm that their sexism is finally being challenged on a national stage because this is what it takes to expose and change it. Cenk Uygur thinks it's time to take the gloves off with these Repugnantan monsters. Their sexism is flat out wrong and the only way to oppose it is in the strongest possible terms.
