After the recent VP debate, a number of red avatars complained that some of the above descriptors were "sexist" when they were applied to Kamala Harris. I have compiled those adjectives, along with a few other choice words, in this list. Please select all options that you believe inherently expose sexism/misogyny in the user when they are applied to a female politician. Hopefully this exercise will make it easier for all of us to communicate our feelings on Kamala Harris in the future, without immature people accusing us of hating women or minorities.
At a minimum; in the current context such adjectives like naggy, b!tchy, sassy, nasty, and shrill are in no doubt sexist terms used against feminine candidates, both identifying as the female gender or appearing to be feminine for somewhat non-binary folk, in public discourse.
Naggy, b!tchy, shrill and sassy are assumed to have gendered, negative connotations. Currently, nasty used now is also in that pile. Specifically, shrill and sassy are used whenever a feminine candidate speaks against a sensibilities of male-dominated society, disrupting the norm of obedience. This can be seen with Elizabeth Warren who was hurled insults for being authoritative in her own right.
