1. Well, let's see.
Bananas are phallic and thus misogynistic. Batty is misogynist too ('you old bat.') Confused is ageist. Crazed, deranged, insane, mental, and manic are all offensive to those with mental illness. Berserk is offensive to Viking warriors. I vote "bonkers."

2. Keep digging
That is, if your goal is to alienate potential voters.

10. I think the goal is to find out which term is PC and not "sexist"
as unhinged was declared today.

4. She wasn't unhinged. Sorry.
She was frustrated and desperate because her campaign is doing badly.

Her attack backfired, but she wasn't unhinged.

The "holier-then-thou" attitude of her press conference is what struck me more then her mental state.

8. I am sick of the 'word police'...
...on this site.

If an adjective describes someone, it describes them.

I'm really tired of people pointing their sharp fingers and throwing out allegations of
sexism, just because they don't like the words "shrill" and "hysterical".

Sorry, but sometimes those words fit. I'm a woman, I've been "hysterical" before.
I've also known other men and women who have acted in a "shrill" manner of who have
been "hysterical".

Get over yourselves. I find the whole, "You can't say that word about a girl!!" nonsense, just
a bit bizarre.

If the adjective fits...deal with it.
