Sitting U.S. Woman Senator Takes A Nice Big Dump On A Bro On Twitter

Senator Claire McCaskill is one of just 20 ladies serving in the U.S. Senate right now, despite the fact that women make up 51% of America’s population.

They are severely underrepresented in the government, and today she released a video urging women to run for office.

In it, McCaskill highlighted the need for more female voices in Congress; alongside that she had a message for men.

“Shut the hell up.”

McCaskill then gave a humorous and spot-on list of things men need to not talk about anymore. You know, like what a woman does with her own body. Some of these you may disagree with. You are allowed to speak up about Star Wars, but what the video is trying to make all us dudes understand is how domineering and oppressive it can be to have someone constantly give their opinion on everything and demand it be treated with respect, especially when it comes to issues they have no actual experience with. Like, say, birth control.

But that wasn’t the best part. No, it was after she released the video, when a Bro on Twitter told her to shut up.

“”

Which, like, good take, dude. Tell the accomplished and intelligent person their opinion doesn’t matter. That’s the exact point she was making. That so often, just by speaking, men attempt to marginalize women’s opinions. It’s not wrong to have your own. It’s just wrong to simply inherently believe that yours is superior (which saying “shut up” is doing) just because UR A DOOD.

But that’s what a lot of gents do all day.

McCaskill, though, took one look at the dude’s profile picture and shut him right down.
