PURE MISOGYNY: Matt Gaetz tweet on pro-choice protestors draws horrified responses on social media
After the leak of Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion that indicates that the Supreme Court is getting ready to ignore precedence and overturn the Roe v. Wade decision that enshrined a woman’s right to determine their own reproductive destiny as a constitutional imperative, some Republicans are showing their true misogynistic colors in their responses to the news. Take accused sex offender Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL), for instance.
Gaetz posted to Twitter this bit of regressive and stereotypical questioning about the profile of pro-choice women upset by the anticipated rollback of their hard-earned rights to control their own bodies, as only a man who has allegedly paid under-aged girls for sex through his Venmo account could.
One might reply with the question of how many men celebrating this historic rollback of civil rights are under-educated incels who have to pay women to have sex with them after their tax-payer-funded expense account dinners, but that would be a low blow to the likes of Rep. Gaetz.
Naturally, a revealing tweet like the one that Gaetz so foolishly and thoughtlessly posted would not go unresponded to by the women whom he so sneeringly denigrates and their enlightened male allies.
Here is a sample of the blowback that Florida’s favorite right-wing extremist and Trump toady received after his ill-conceived and thoroughly sexist post.

This is the congressman who is under federal investigation for having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old and for paying for women to travel across state lines to have sex, which violates sex-trafficking laws. https://t.co/E5rRdAKcxS https://t.co/2HVEtGgzJy

There’s nothing that terrifies drunken pedophile sex trafficking coke-orgy enthusiast traitor dunce Matt Gaetz more than over-educated women. pic.twitter.com/iT7iLz34Mq

Another reason why @mattgaetz has to pay for women to be anywhere near him. pic.twitter.com/TrAdToebi4

Good morning to all you over-educated women out there, or as Matt Gaetz would put it: any woman who's graduated high school.

Raise your hand if you're over 18, over-educated, and marked safe from sexual predator Matt Gaetz.

Matt Gaetz’ “over-educated” tweet is a confession: They want to overturn Roe in order to have even more control over their prey. pic.twitter.com/Ekjt2dk8yR

How many GOP dudes celebrating overturning Roe v Wade are really just under-educated, overly fore-headed millennial bros going back home to their adopted ‘son’s’ they use to host parties for HS girls while they Venmo cash to their latest underage victims? @mattgaetz

Calling women “over-educated” for caring about their basic freedoms is a pretty concise way to expose how anti-women, anti-education, and anti-freedom the Republican Party really is.

Matt used Venmo to pay for sex trafficking minors. He belongs in jail not tweeting this garbage.

This is revelatory. And let's just be clear: it's how most of his party view women: as nothing more than vessels for men's pleasure and procreation. Getting an education defeats the prime directive of being young, dumb, barefoot and pregnant. Now you see why this guy dates teens. https://t.co/wjWlx5LZL2

This seems oddly specific, Captain Venmo. “Under-loved” sounds groomy to me. Which one of @RepMTG’s daughters is lonelier? pic.twitter.com/mGX3CQuyBY

What EXACTLY does an over-educated Woman look like? Does she have the ability to detect a lecherous, pathetic, child sex trafficking creep easily?
You don't need a college education for that, Captain Venmo.

Omg! He is pathetic! Not a shred of dignity. Fvcking low class white trash pedophile.
But the big question remains is why Matt Gaetz is still sitting in the committee that is investigating him for trafficking?#DemVoice1 #FreshVoicesRise https://t.co/W7YvtnEWAH

Yes, “low-class white trash pedophile” and “lecherous, pathetic, child sex trafficking creep” seem to be widely shared assessments of the controversial Florida congressional space-waster and minor dating aficionado.
At this point, it really must be said that it is only by ridding Congress of the likes of Matt Gaetz and his extremist cohorts like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar, and the many others too numerous to mention that will put our nation back on a path to reproductive freedom and equality among genders.
Hold onto your anger as you cast your vote in the November midterms and flush this garbage out of office.
