Last update date: 2020-07-30 06:00Last Wednesday (20th), there was an episode in the U.S. Capitol. The Republican Florida Senator Ted Yoho scolded Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the steps in front of Capitol Hill. ) "nausea" (digusting), also known as "fucking bitch" (f * cking bitch). This kind of insulting words are usually heard a lot in the streets and alleys. However, in front of the solemn Capitol Hill, a congressman said to another congressman that such insulting language violence was heard by a group of reporters, which caused an uproar.
When Cortez spoke in Congress two days later, he said that such verbal violence that insulted women was treated every day when he was a waitress in Brooklyn, New York. She claimed that she didn't treat it as the same thing, but accepted it as a woman's daily life. However, when Yoho was under tremendous pressure from the public and even his party members, he spoke in Congress and expressed regret that he had caused quarrels and abrupt performance, which aroused the dissatisfaction of Cortez. Cortez finally broke his silence and delivered a ten-minute speech in Congress, complaining about the derogation and discrimination that American women face daily in society. The result was a great response from the public, which was spread wildly on social media and was regarded as a manifestation of feminism. Right move.

Cortez refutes Yoho
Cortes said that he would finally speak up, because Yoho said to him in his speech, and even said that he could not apologize for his love to test the emperor, his family, and the motherland. Cortez said he could not teach his nephew and young people to accept such an apology. Cortes also said that Joho talked about his wife and daughter, portraying himself as a man who loves his family, yet he shows such disrespect to women outside the house. Cortes said: "Although I am two years younger than Mr. Yoho's young girl, I am also a daughter of others, and my father is fortunate to be dead to see how Mr. Yoho treats his daughter." Cortez said again. Just because you have a daughter does not mean you are not a sexist.
In fact, since Cortez was elected as the youngest member of Congress two years ago at the age of 30, he has been frantically attacked by conservatives and Republicans, saying that he is too young and not well-versed in the world, and he also laughed at his low background. Once served as a waiter, he also said that his self-proclaimed socialist left-wing political views were naive and dangerous, and would drag the United States down and turn it into Venezuela. The attacks on Cortez on social media have also targeted him as women and Latinos. However, Cortez is stronger and stronger every time he meets the situation. Not only does he deal with the right way, he is not arrogant or humble, he often makes sharp remarks and is also inspiring, making him popular among young people. In just two years, he has become one of the most famous members of Congress. One.
In this storm of insulting women's remarks, Cortez reflected the daily insults and treatment suffered by American women and won great applause. On the other side, Yoho was also under great pressure. The Christian group "Bread for the World" even pointed out that Yoho's "ethical conduct" did not conform to its organization's purpose of walking side by side with women and people of color, and resigned from the group's public office. . Yoho was even pressured by some progressive groups to resign as a member of Congress. His fate can also be described as an act of punishing evil and promoting good and upholding justice. It meets public expectations and upholds social justice. It also shows that American society insults Congressmen. The scale of women and disadvantaged groups is so high, on the contrary, how does Hong Kong perform in terms of disadvantaged and equal rights?

The Hong Kong Legislative Council is deteriorating
Recently, Guo Weiqiang, a member of the Legislative Council of the Federation of Trade Unions, commented on current affairs live on social media, which also caused a storm of discrimination and insults to the minority. The cause of the incident was that Guo Weiqiang was suspected of forcibly pulling the people's power Chen Zhiquan to the ground during the election of the chairman of the House Committee of the Legislative Council many months ago, and Chen Zhiquan filed a private prosecution. During the live broadcast, Guo Weiqiang used "Mr. Chrysanthemum" to laugh at Chen Zhiquan's sexual orientation and pointed out that the people who supported him were the "Chrysanthemum Group." His remarks drew criticism from Chen Zhiquan and the democrats. The gay singer Huang Yaoming even called "this kind of verbal violence. In fact, it is still everywhere in the 21st century, but can you tolerate a member of the Legislative Council falling to this level?"
The establishment has described the anti-revision demonstration violence and the participants as thugs, criticizing the democrats for engaging in parliamentary violence and making the parliament not a parliament. Although there is no reason, they have already been suppressed by the system for the disadvantaged and minority groups in society. In terms of violence, verbal violence is applied. Speaking insults as a member of the Legislative Council is regarded as leisure and even more unapologetic. As the saying goes, one palm can’t make a sound. When the democrats are becoming more radical, the establishment is also going from bad to worse. They openly express humiliating remarks and forget about the basic morals and cultivation of legislators as social role models.
Equal Opportunity’s mission is to promote equal opportunities for different groups, build a society without discrimination, advocate diversity, and tolerate each other. Now that legislators openly verbal violence against the sexual minorities, they should also exercise their prejudice against the sexual minorities. Social responsibility.
It is necessary for the Legislative Council to completely alienate and return to rationality
The Legislative Council Chamber is not a place for street curses
