I think it's pretty easy to both acknowledge that upper class white women weaponise their gender, but that is precisely because misogyny is still a massive issue.
we can just call her names without resorting to disparaging an entire gender, or subset of gender...
that's the point though. that accent isnt just rich white women. an accent doesn't precisely constrain itself to a certain income bracket or man-made border.
so why make fun of an accent when you just want to call her a rich white lady? just do that.
I dunno seems to me like it kind of is, or at the very least people pretending to talk like the rich. If there's actual working class people talking like that unironically then fine, you're right, but honestly I don't see it.
you could literally talk to a group of random teenage girls or gay men and you'd hear it.
I know plenty of women academics, working class people, etc who have spoken like that.
but like i said, it's a predominantly feminine-coded way of speaking, so if you're insulting the accent, you're more or less specifically targeting women.
just say you hate Sinema and that she sucks and that's fine.

To be completely honest I don't really give a shit about offending rich white women based on how they talk.
Your comment kinda has a "you can totally be racist to white people" vibe.

How random? Still sounds to me like you need to be White with a capital W to talk like that, but fine whatever Sinema sucks regardless of her speech.
