65. I disagree. Consider....

They are using sexism, racism, where she's from and being democrat against her.

Your may say semantics, but consider differences:

They were chastising her questioning, as if she needed correction about the questions she asked. They're her questions, she can ask them as she deems so.

VS

She has 4 things against her
She's a woman
she is black
she is from CA
she is a Dem


You placed in your statement the onus on her sex, her skin color, her origin, and political party.

Place the emphasis on what you mean, especially when choosing brevity. Keep the focus on their inappropriate actions. Yes, it takes more space.

My intent here is informational; I figure you don't see it differently.
