Just because it's not literally true doesn't mean it can't be insulting and funny.
Most young women have been stalked on social media at some point with varying levels of creepiness.  I don't think anybody thinks AOC actually feels creeped out or unsafe about Shapiro, but, it was an opportunity to make a joke that most women can relate to.

I expect my pundits to hurl (and receive) gratuitous insults and my presidents to behave with decorum and magnamity.

Call me old fashioned.

Except when they're liberals.  When they're liberals it's not that they are hurling insults they're making jokes people can relate to.  We have to understand what they're saying no matter how much it actually contradicts everything feminism actually stands for or how it's obviously covering an overwhelming lack of substance.  We have to UNDERSTAND!
