Konzervativne žene postrojile su se u četvrtak kako bi izazvale demokratsku socijalisticu iz New Yorka, Alexandriu Ocasio-Cortez, na debatu. Njihovi izazovi došli su nakon što je odbila sličan izazov konzervativnog komentatora Ben Shapira i opisala ga seksističkim (“baš poput zviždanja za ženama”), tvrdeći da je imao “loše namjere”.
Shapiro je započeo razgovor s jednostavnim zahtjevom: 10.000 dolara za njezinu kampanju ako će sjesti sa njim u jednosatnoj emisiji u nedjelju.
Hey, @Ocasio2018, what do you say? pic.twitter.com/lKDtmMc8Us

Kad su je ljudi počeli prozivati zbog toga što nije reagirala na poziv, Ocasio-Cortez oslikala je Shapira kao seksista, usporedivši njegov “samoinicijativni” zahtjev za debatom s neželjenim zviždanjem za ženama.
Just like catcalling, I don’t owe a response to unsolicited requests from men with bad intentions.
And also like catcalling, for some reason they feel entitled to one. pic.twitter.com/rsD17Oq9qe

Shapiro je brzo odgovorio, rekavši da je Ocasio-Cortez ta koja demonstrira “loše namjere” tako što je reagirala klevetom.
Discussion and debate are not “bad intentions.” Slandering someone as a sexist catcaller without reason or evidence does demonstrate cowardice and bad intent, however. https://t.co/kYaYuf0W43

But sure, go with “the Orthodox Jew who has never catcalled a woman in his life is ACKSHUALLY a sexist catcaller for asking for a discussion or debate.” I’m sure your media sycophants will eat it up.

Konzervativnim ženama — od suradnica Fox Newsa do Pussycat Dolls — nije trebalo dugo vremena da istupe i istaknu blef Ocasio-Cortez.
Okay fine @Ocasio2018, if you won’t debate @benshapiro because he’s a man (and because he would destroy you intellectually) how about a debate with me? https://t.co/y4m2mkLbVt

And what exactly was your excuse for having turned down the debate with me?
Can’t wrap that one up in fake-feminism.
I’ll double @benshapiro’s offer. 20k to a charity of your choice— a capitalism vs. socialism debate. https://t.co/jHQHZcJ83V

If a man asking @Ocasio2018 to debate is catcalling, what was it when I asked? (And other women that I’m sure have also asked.) I would LOVE to discuss her claim that Jesus was a socialist. Or is that mean?
