"Could you stop braying at me?"

Over here is a compendium of the misogynistic and sexist language directed at Senator Clinton that has incensed so many women and men.

How do we make this sort of talk socially unacceptable? Just as we have made blatantly racist language socially unacceptable: we each, as individuals, must object every time and every place we hear or read sexist or misogynistic language.

I recommend that when somebody tells you Senator Clinton is shrill (as a colleague of mine kept shouting in the hallways of my workplace all primary season), you say, "Could you stop braying at me?"

Donkeys bray, don't they? Sometimes other animals as well???

I just sent a comment to Andrew Malcolm @ LA Times. He wrote about no drama Barack Obama and all drama Hillary Clinton, I commented to him that he and his likes are the ones dramatizing and to stop the sexism, lest he wouldn't be taken seriously.

The press talking about drama Clintons is a little bit like a teenager who passes gas and then asks: "Who farted?"
