Opinion: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's masterclass speech busted a myth we should all reject

"As a father, I want to make sure my daughters have the same opportunities as my sons." Cue an audience groan at a frequency perhaps only perceptible to women.

After being called out, Yoho made what he appeared to consider an apology for his "abrupt manner". Especially galling was Yoho’s statement denying that he swore: "Having been married for 45 years with two daughters, I'm very cognisant of language." Every woman I know, myself included, has experienced derogatory language, snide remarks, patronising comments, abusive name calling. And in almost all cases that abuse came from men. Men who are fathers, sons, brothers. It's a myth that fatherhood is relevant to whether a man abuses women.Ocasio-Cortez went on to say in her speech "I want to thank [Yoho] for showing the world that you can be a powerful man and accost women. You can have daughters and accost women without remorse.

Men, stay single, wealthy and sane! Don't get married or live with a woman. Feminism is toxic. Protect yourselves.

She is an insane Marxist like Gillard and her 'speech' should be ignored. AOC is one of the most abusive and offensive members ever to stain Congress. She would turn the USA into Venezuela if she had the chance.

Never heard so much bullshit. The SMH is operating from a different planet.

Phrases like 'man up' and 'manning up' can go in the f ing bin too

very few remember the misogamy speech only the past disloyalty

Love her. Reminded me of Julia Gillard’s speech. Great to see vile attitudes called out.
