Tucker Carlson's latest lame attempt at humor

Tucker Carlson Mocks AOC’s Experiences Of Harassment & Misogyny Saying, “I’ve Never Met Anyone Who Hates Women”

“They’re trying to kill me! They hate me! They just don’t like women,” a giggling Tucker Carlson said in a high-pitched tone on Dumb Fux & Friends this morning. He was mocking a recent GQ cover interview in which Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said, among other things, “My experience here has given me a front-row seat to how deeply and unconsciously, as well as consciously, so many people in this country hate women. And they hate women of color.”

Ocasio-Cortez also touched upon a number of threats on her life, from a sexual assault to those from January 6 rioters to those from colleagues such as GOP Rep. Paul Gosar, who was censured by the House earlier this year after he posted an anime video online that depicted him killing Ocasio-Cortez.

“Realistically,” said the New York Congresswoman to GQ, “I can’t even tell you if I’m going to be alive in September. And that weighs very heavily on me.”

Carlson responded this morning with, “Really? Who hates women? I’ve never met anyone who hates women. Most men actually really like women — as far as I know.”

they are more commonly known as CREEPS, they get off making women uncomfortable

and here is something I learned long ago - ANY GUY who claims unawareness of any misogyny is likely HIMSELF to be a fucking creep

A person does not have to 'hate' some particular class of people ... to feel a need to disempower them.

I'll leave it at that.

That comes from a desire to make women powerless and at the mercy of the controlling man. There would be no need for that if the man did not fear the power women have over him and feel rage about that power and about the fear it engenders in him.

Follow a need to control down to its source and I think that IS hatred. Sure feels like hatred on the receiving end.
