On Monday, Elizabeth Warren delivered what some are considering a cornerstone speech of her campaign for the Democratic nomination.
Speaking to 20,000 in New York City’s Washington Square Park, Warren spoke about of corporate greed and government corruption, a message to rally behind as she continues to rise in the polls.
She also took a moment, as a woman, to shout out women, saying “We are not here because of men at all.”
It was a nice line, nodding to the importance and accomplishments of women given that, you know, she is a woman.
And three days later, far-right men have found the clip and are upset.
Their argument? Men exist, why didn’t Warren say men exist, won’t someone please say men exist???

Would you love a fact-check of Warren’s quips from all the guys of the far-right?
Like that men do sex to make babies and you can’t make babies without men.
Actually every one of you have a father. And I bet men built that stage, as well as that monument behind you. I bet men are running the audio from that microphone and a man is most likely standing behind that camera. Men most likely were the Uber drivers that got you there.

Or the fact that men, like women, vote.
Does she know she is not running for President of the HOA? https://t.co/8uLebDYsud

If i’m not mistaken, in order to have a child, a MAN and a women need to be involved. Soooo, were all here because of both men and women. Why even bother saying stuff like that? https://t.co/9cJ2Q6ZFhV

Or that it’s mean to hate men.

Did you know that Manhattan, the island, was bought by a man?
The arch in Washington Square Park in NYC she spoke under was built by a man named Stanford White and features a statue of George Washington carved into it. https://t.co/z5ym3mxk8G

Also a man named Peter Minuit purchased Manhattan island but that one probably hits a bit too close to home for her.

It really does take a man to handle a light ribbing like this with such impressive tantrums.
