You sound like those pathetic middle managers I see at cocktail parties talking about what bothers them in the political discourse. What they, and you, should do is act like the political statements are what you want them to be. Hell tell others the take you want to be true. Beliefs, what are you, twelve?

The suggestion I was attacking Warren's sex is silly. It's also cheap. But that's how people roll these days. They read everything with an eye toward finding something that they can say is offensive and shaming the author.
For those of us who refuse to geld our thoughts to avoid this policing, for those of us who don't care, this is just "the noise" you get from people of that mentality.
They shame and opportunistically characterize things incorrectly, or in a childish hyper-sensitive manner, so predictably, so often, that no one really cares much anymore. "I'm offended!" "That's insensitive." Okay. Whatever. They're entitled to seek to score points in that manner. Their speech is as free as anyone else's. And the overwhelming majority of the world is free to do what it does in response: Roll our eyes.
