“She’s engaging attention and emotion in people at this visceral level,” Azarian said. “She has some combination of a lot of features that really seems to give her this ability to go viral. And I think that’s what Trump had.”
That’s why conservatives want and need to undercut her influence. And the most time-tested way to undermine a woman’s power is to sexualize her, to make her an object instead of an agent. A 2013 study by the Women’s Media Center found that merely discussing a female candidate’s appearance has a negative effect on her support from voters.
“The moment at which you turn someone into a sex object, you put yourself in a position of authority over them, which is why sexual harassment is classified as being a form of gender discrimination in the workplace,” Heldman said. “They are the object who exists for you, and you are validating their worth.”
I hope she is the future of the demented Democrat Party, she is a media darling so there are enough photo’s of her crazy bug eyed image to expose the craziness of the D Party.
Devaluing women, funny how Republicans don’t do the same thing to males.
The problem for these men is that Ocasio-Cortez doesn’t seem interested in what they think of her. She doesn’t seek attention for anything other than her policy ideas and ambition, even though Americans still seem to dislike power-seeking women. The typical strategies men use to devalue women ― “sexualizing, dismissing, controlling, teasing, criticizing, interrupting, psychopathologizing, humiliating, abusing,” according to one psychologist ― seem to bounce right off her.
You guys can leverage every pathetic insulting attack on this lady all you want. She’s young, she’s poor, she’s stupid, she’s radical, she danced with friends in college, she’s just a bartender, post fake nudes of her, misquote her, you’re so afraid of her but she doesn’t seem to be the slightest bit afraid of you.
Temporarily it will hurt the Democrats voters. In the long run, she’s physically
attractive, and the cool new thing on the block, so a lot of millennials will follow her.
Her ideals are already the Democratic Party bread and butter, they simply won’t admit
it because most Americans don’t want that yet.
Socialism starts with one Liberal Socialist Democrat (Bernie Sanders), now it’s gone to three. I wonder how many more Democratic Socialists the Democrats will elect in 2020?
