On the other side of the political spectrum, congresswomen (đại biểu quốc hội Hoa Kỳ) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has her own set of reply guys who are exponentially worse. Regardless of what the congresswomen tweets, there is a fleet of men calling her wildly racist and misogynistic (tính ghét đàn bà) names, insulting her past career as a bartender or calling her a blood-thirsty communist.

If you’ve replied to a woman on the internet with any of the above messages as of late, you are very likely a Reply Guy. 

Reply guys seem to have exploded on the internet within the past couple of years, mainly on Twitter, where the problem has gotten so bad the social media platform recently implemented a feature that allows users to limit who can reply to their tweets.

On Twitter, a place where a lot of bad things happen, there's a mostly harmless but decidedly annoying phenomenon. A lot of people, mostly women, have noticed that one or two men always, no matter what, reply to their tweets. These men are colloquially known as "reply guys." While no reply guy is the same -- each reply guy is annoying in his own way -- there are a few common qualities to watch out for. In general, reply guys tend to have few followers. Their responses are overly familiar, as if they know the person they're targeting, though they usually don't. They also tend to reply to only women; the most prolific reply guys fill the role for dozens of women trying to tweet in peace.
