2) This post assumes that all this censoring of speech helps reduce racism and sexism. I think that is a ridiculous assumption.

What censoring of speech? Someone complains that the comments are patronizing, and you tell them to take the stick out of their ass? Where's the censorship? You're the one telling someone to shut.the.fuck.up.

3) The statement that she rose from a cowgirl to being on the supreme court is not sexist. And trying to label it as sexist diminishes the legitimacy of critisizing other comments that really are sexist. If you cry wolf too many times people stop taking you seriously.

Ok. Good thing there is an objective standard as to what's sexist, and what's not, and you know what it is, and everyone who complains about what they perceive as sexist should just shut.the.fuck.up. I have heard the "cry wolf" line from lots and lots of people from Orville Faubus on down to the construction worker on the corner who are shocked, shocked to find that someone could consider their behaviour racist or sexist.
