See the reference in my post above to AOC's July 2020 much-publicized remarks on the House floor in which she repeatedly used used the words daughter, wife, father and mother. If AOC had used the terms child, spouse and parent instead, her takedown of Congress member Ted Yoho would have been far less dramatic, biting and effective. And her remarks would have come off as far less attention-grabbing, headline-generating and praiseworthy too.

I did see. Thank you for presenting so well what I could not at the time. This very thing ran through my mind when I read AOC was in full support of these rules.
