It’s just h the male population of America has been waiting for…Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has some of her golden advice for men on the topic of abortion.
The woke congresswoman told GQ Magazine that men should speak out more about how they have personally benefitted from women having abortions. This is a part of her new national agenda since the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court.
AOC was often seen protesting outside of the Supreme Court in June after the landmark decision was leaked in a draft opinion in May. She was recorded chanting that the decision was “illegitimate” and she called for people to get “into the streets.”

Here is some of her “wisdom” directed at the male population: “For almost every woman that has gotten an abortion, there’s a man who has either been affected or liberated by that abortion too,” Ocasio-Cortez said during an interview. “In this moment it’s really only going to be the vulnerability of men, and men talking to other men, that gives us the greatest hope of shifting things the fastest, soonest.”
“I think there’s plenty of well-meaning reasons why men may feel like it’s not appropriate for them to talk about it,” she continued. “I think sometimes the way white folks don’t like to talk about race and they say, ‘We just want to center the person who’s most impacted, so it’s not my role to do anything or take a space and speak up.’ But we know that when white folks take up space and say the right thing in rooms of other white people, that is the most shifting activity that can happen, more sometimes than any protest or any person writing a letter to the editor or anything like that. And we need men to be speaking up in that way as well. But I think men, sometimes they think, I’m not a woman. This doesn’t affect me the most.”
AOC had empathy for men who, like women, “suffer from being under patriarchy” by having to exhibit characteristics such as “stoicism, competition, domination, dominance—are leading to mental health issues for men. There’s a stigma around men being vulnerable.”
Men, don’t you feel validated? What did we do before AOC decided to “help us?”
