Cruise Ship Captain Hilariously Claps Back After Troll Questions How A Woman Could Do The Job

Captain Kate McCue gave a shady grammar lesson to the TikTok troll.

Whether it's 2023 or 2020, no one should really need a reminder that sexism is bad or a clarification on the differences between "you're" and "your."

Unfortunately, some people did not seem to get the memo, as an incident involving both of these issues resurfaced from the deep blue sea in the past week.


Back in 2020, Captain Kate McCue, the first American woman to captain a giant cruise vessel, decided enough was enough when it came to comments she received on her TikTok videos, questioning her ability to captain a vessel as a woman.

McCue explained that she usually let the comments go by and "went on with her life," but one comment in particular caught her eye.

The comment read, including grammatical and punctuation errors:

"How can you be a captain? Your only a woman"

For this, McCue responded with a video. But she addressed the sexism in an unexpected way.

"Normally as I'm scrolling through the comments and see something like this, I just ignore it and move on with my life."
"But I think it's high time I address this, because it is 2020. In this day and age, I am shocked that someone still doesn't know the difference between 'you're' and 'your.'"
"So, just, a quick reference: 'You're,' as in, 'You are,' as in, 'You are sexist.'"
"'Your' is something possessive, it belongs to you, like 'your ignorance.'"

In a cheery tone, McCue added:

"But don't worry! I'm here for you."
"If you need any more clarification, you can find me here... in my Captain's chair."

The video was originally posted back in October 2020 but has resurfaced and received serious attention with 909 thousand likes, over 40 thousand comments, and over 36 thousand shares.

Whether this originally occurred in 2020 or happened yesterday in 2023, this level of sexism continues to be a vapid issue, especially in male-dominated spaces where women are beginning to grow a meaningful presence and make an impact.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.
