From '@BelleTimsit of '@qz: The real reason why #AlexandriaOcasioCortez '@Ocasio2018 keeps getting shamed for her clothes https://qz.com/quartzy/1466718/ "Henry Navarro Delgado, an assistant professor of fashion at Ryerson University in Canada, says that’s precisely the reason why so many people are scrutinizing Ocasio-Cortez’s wardrobe. 'There are several elements at play here,' he told Quartz. 'She’s a woman of color. She’s a woman, of course. She is in a position that is normally dominated by white, male members of society. And her political views are also controversial to the majority of people in Congress.' Critics feel threatened by what she represents, and so they choose to focus on her clothes to show that she’s not who she says she is—and by extension, that she doesn’t belong." "For women like Ocasio-Cortez, it seems, fashion is always political. And there’s nothing that she could wear that would protect her from criticism. As Delgado says, 'It’s just the way that men in power tend to deal with feeling threatened by women who suddenly become part of the conversation of politics.'” #ElectWomen #BlueWave2018 #BlueTsunami2018 #TheResistance (at Lakeland, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqQZRauBRP_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hmfiy82jqfp2
