Elizabeth Warren Darling Watch

Once again we have to ask newspaper reporters: can’t they find any other word for Elizabeth Warren besides “darling”—a demeaning term used almost exclusively on women.

This time it’s the Boston Globe.  The headline of the otherwise sexism-free article reads, “Democratic Darling has also been critic.”  When is the media going to come up with another word? We even suggested several other non-gendered synonyms in our last blog post on this issue.  Take a look.
