When Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted at former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines, “Maybe if you channeled all this anger into swimming faster you wouldn’t have come in fifth,” it was more than a cheap shot. It was a window into what passes for feminism on the Left in 2025.
In a post that went viral, I responded, “Imagine hating another woman for defending women, then mocking her for not beating a man.”
That single sentence, my response on X, reached more than 62,000 likes in just a few hours. People are fed up. Ordinary Americans, men and women alike, can see the absurdity. You cannot claim to support women while ridiculing one who stands up for fair competition and biological truth.
AOC later doubled down, tweeting, “And I would like to challenge this person to get a real job.” She could not even bring herself to refer to Riley Gaines as a woman, depersonalizing her into “person.” That is not leadership. It is condescension. It is also a reminder that too many of today’s political elites have forgotten over an issue that has about 80% of Americans supporting science and biological truth.

Surprised AOC didn't call Riley a misogynist.
More of how these people think that they know more and know better, but show how ignorant and anti social they really are.
A slag in congress isn’t a real job.
As the reporter suggested, AOC is taking the wrong side of an 80-20 issue. Why Trump won.

there are only 2 logical positions when it comes to this:
Either men and women are equal physically and womens sports should be eliminated entirely since there is no reason for it, since women can compete with men.
or
Men and women are NOT equal physically and mentally ill men who want to pretend they are women have an unfair advantage being allowed to compete in womens sports.
There are NO other choices.
Horse choppers in an awkward, Ms.Edna act.
depersonalizing her into “person.”
That’s what (some) women have allowed. There are no more women. There are only men and “non-men.”
Worse. AOC repeated the “5th place” comment first made by Keith Oberman. It’s pathetic that AOC would use Doberman as a source.
Let’s just have it out: these two, bikini mud wrestling.
You misspelled “slut”. 😉😂😂

I have a daughter who swims competitively. The difference between teen boys and teen girls hitting the water upon starting a heat is starkly audible.
I'm still curious about just who her handlers are? She's getting the best there is in candidate management. Who's paying the bill? For what purpose is she being groomed, and to benefit whom?
And America already has a surplus of those.
