As one commenter said, if a man wrote this we’d be having a national conversation:
Judging by how she’s dressed at several high-profile events in her husband’s political career, first lady of Florida Casey DeSantis’ desperation to win Jackie Kennedy comparisons is almost palpable. It’s only kind of worked—she did earn the nickname “Tacky Onassis” in some circles and has recently been dubbed “Walmart Melania”—but the intent is plain: She wants to be thought of as classy, prim, and put-together. So she would probably be absolutely appalled to find out that there’s currently a sizable amount of people online who are horrified by her eyebrows.
…
Just how thick are this lady’s brows? Have they been growing? Are Casey DeSantis’ eyebrows angling to seize new territory? Do they have … political ambitions? Is it possible they are bodily manifestations of her increasing influence over her husband’s presidential campaign? Should we treat them as prophets?
I guess we’re throwing #MeToo/#BelieveAllWomen/girl power conveniently out the window for this, which suits me just fine because since (begrudgingly) trying to be a nicer person I’m always on the lookout for opportunities to flex some Big B savagery. Just remember, I didn’t start this, this chick did:
This is Heather Schwedel and she is on the Burn Book eyebrow beat for Slate. It’s an important beat guys; it’s culture, observation, eyebrows! It might be more beneficial to have a “national debate” about doctoring those chin crusties, but not everyone can be the wife of a man running for higher elected office, so those who can’t must complain about those who can, I suppose.
So what are the rules governing when we can and can’t be petty about female politicians or the wives of politicians? The rules are this: You can mock Republicans but not Democrats.
When people questioned Jill Biden’s use of “Dr.” it was called “sexist.” (She isn’t a real medical doctor.)
Do we gain any policy insight from talking about Casey DeSantis’s eyebrows? When have leftist jOurNAListS ever cared about providing legitimate policy insight?
So far the only insults they can lob at DeSantis is that she’s too well-dressed, QUELLE HORREUR!, she wore gloves EGADS! (were these people raised in a barn? Gloves aren’t out of vogue), her hair is too perfect — these … sound … like positives.
So, if it looks like your jaw came from the Hapsburgs, are you inbred?
Casey is a gorgeous articulate lady. These leftwing vermin will do or say anything to attack anyone on the right. That's what these heathens do.
