Sock It To 'Em, G.T.

Esther Wang on the obvious misogyny (and general creepiness) of the older men who criticize Greta Thunberg:

"'Climate change disproportionately affects women and girls around the world—they are more likely to be displaced, more likely to be living in poverty and thus more vulnerable to climate change’s destabilizing effects. It is also women and girls who are leading the global movement to ensure a livable future.'

Yet to conservatives, climate change activism has become wrapped up in the so-called 'war on men,' and Thunberg, as well as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with her championing of the Green New Deal, have come to symbolize all that they fear to lose. But for all their whining and their rage, as Thunberg said on Monday before the United Nations, 'The world is waking up. And change is coming, whether you like it or not.'”

And let's be honest -- "shut up and put on a dress, little girl" isn't criticism at all, it's the desperate plea of men who can't handle strong, smart women.  (Of any age.)
