A columnist suggested in Mediaite Thursday that the White House press corps should consist only of women to combat President Donald Trump’s abuse of CNN’s Kaitlan Collins and other female journalists.

Wonkette founder Ana Marie Cox asserted that Trump’s shameful insults encourage MAGA men to demean the women in their own lives. And that such a revolt against Trump’s sexist barbs would boost the press corps and be “for the sake of women everywhere,” she added.

Citing what she saw as tacit approval by male journalists of the president’s antics, she wrote:

Send in nothing but women and you have robbed Trump of what he believes to be a sympathetic audience. Send in all women and you will frighten him. Bullies thrive only when they think they can win. There is strength in numbers.

Send in women and you’ll be saying something to the public as well: There are more than enough women qualified for what’s regarded as the most prestigious job in journalism.

The idea from Cox, a contributing editor for The New Republic, appeared to be getting a lot of attention as evidenced by the multiplying comments on Mediaite.

The author also suggested disbanding the White House press corps altogether to “free up excellent journalists like Collins to do more than parry Trump’s abuse.”

The court has pushed back at Trump’s ban of CNN, MS NOW and Politico journalists ― which include men and women ― from the White House.

Collins, the network’s chief White House correspondent, even got snapped at by Trump when she threw a question to him at the United Nations ― about 230 miles from the White House and not an official presidential event.

“You shouldn’t be here! ... You should not be here covering me,” Trump said. “You said you weren’t going to cover me; you shouldn’t be covering me.”

The president also has bullied Collins online, calling her “very dumb and unhappy” on Truth Social earlier this month.

Trump recently attacked her for not smiling as he would like at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, but Collins suggested she didn’t want to become the story in such moments.

“It’s really not about me, and I don’t want it to be about my reaction, and so I think if you let it become about that, then it becomes a back and forth between the two of us,” Collins told “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart.
