Oh look, it's plain old misogyny masquerading as political commentary

I don’t think it is purely just “traditionally feminine” cosmetic choices driving this commentary—it is the elective injections and surgical procedures targeted at altering appearance, which I would say Matt Gaetz is getting equal, critical attention for as well.

He looks like a mix of Jack Nicholson and Butthead.

It's so weird seeing him look like the villain in a 3D animated movie while knowing that he is a child-trafficking pedophile.

Nah. She's just an evil cunt.

nah, we all make fun of the men's looks in the GOP just as much.

And really the only reason is because it's conservatives the hold such weird beauty standards to begin with.

It's more about pointing out their own hypocrisy than it is making fun of them

Yeah, this is counterproductive and plain lazy bullshit, as if there isn't enough to legitimately criticise her for.. 🙄

Can you explain how insinuating that someone is ugly = misogyny? I’d argue that you’re the one equating the relevancy of physical appearance to gender by labeling this as misogyny.
