There is a lot of love for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the Left, but sometimes things get a little absurd. One such example is a photo of AOC walking past five men with the caption "When you see a Strong Woman in real life for the first time." I know the people who retweeted and liked this photo think they are "owning the cons" (assuming all of these men are Republicans) but in the excitement of "owning the cons" they actually were insulting all of the women in these men's lives. Seriously, do you really think a bunch of guys who look like they are under 30 they have never seen a "strong woman" before? That is quite an assumption. Their mothers, sisters, aunts, and female friends are not strong women, obviously. A statement meant as a rib of white males was actually very misogynistic.
