From our friends at dictionary.com: Alternatives for "unhinged"

I didn't clean up the duplicates.

If the Hillary4Prez folks can let us know which alternatives we should use so as not to appear "sexist", it would be greatly appreciated.

Take your pick:

bananas, berserk, bonkers, confused, crazed, crazy, deranged, disturbed, insane, loopy, lunatic, mad, maniac, manic, mental, out of one's mind, out to lunch, touched, unbalanced, ape, barmy, batty, berserk, bonkers, cracked, crazed, cuckoo, daft, delirious, demented, deranged, dingy, dippy, erratic, flaky, flipped, flipped out, freaked out, fruity, haywire, idiotic, insane, kooky, lunatic, mad, maniacal, mental, moonstruck, nuts, nutty, potty, psycho, screw loose, screwball, screwy, silly, touched, unbalanced, unglued, unhinged, unzipped, wacky, whacko, absurd, asinine, baked, bedlamite, bonkers, cracked, crackers, crazy, daffy, demented, deranged, dopey, flaky, foolish, fried, giddy, idiotic, inane, insane, lunatic, mad, mental, nuts, nutty, ridiculous, screwy, silly, simple, totally baked, touched, unbalanced, unhinged, unsound, wacky, whacko, witless, aberrant, bewildered, confused, crazed, crazy, demented, deranged, deviant, deviate, dingy, disarranged, disordered, distracted, disturbed, flipped, flipped out, hallucinatory, incoherent, insane, irrational, lightheaded, lunatic, mad, maniac, maniacal, manic, rambling, raving, unhinged, unreasonable, unsettled, wandering, adrift, astray, bewildered, lost, mixed up, not adjusted, off-beam, off-course, perplexed, unbalanced, unhinged, unsettled, unstable, corybantic, delirious, demented, distraught, excited, fanatical, frantic, frenzied, furibund, furious, hyped up, hyper, insane, mad, obsessive, overwrought, phrenetic, rabid, spazzed out, unbalanced, unglued, unhinged, unscrewed, weirded out, wigged out, wild, wired, amiss, amok, batty, berserk, bonkers, chaotic, confused, cracked, crazed, defective, disordered, disorganized, erratic, flipped, in a mess, in pieces, insane, mad, messy, nuts, orderless, out of order, out of whack, out to lunch, psycho, schizo, screwball, screwy, touched, unbalanced, unglued, unhinged, wacky, batty, bizarre, bonkers, cracked, crackers, crazed, crazy, cuckoo, daft, demented, derailed, deranged, fatuous, frenzied, gone, half-cocked, idiotic, impractical, irrational, irresponsible, loony, lunatic, mad, maniacal, mental, moonstruck, nuts, nutty, paranoid, preposterous, psychopathic, psychotic, rabid, raging, raving, schizo, schizophrenic, screwy, senseless, stupid, touched, unglued, unhinged, unsettled, unzipped, whacko, wild

However, hysterical, shrill, and frustrated (in certain contexts) are.

How about not calling her "bananas, berserk, bonkers" etc.? Not sexist, but demeaning and untrue.

Personally, I think of men being unhinged moreso than women (when they are off their stride), but I was informed that "unhinged" was "sexist", so I need to know what the options are for this behavior.

:applause:

sins but doesn't have a sexist bone in its body. I know you didn't ask me but couldn't resist opining on what's a good word to describe my senator's tv appearance today.

I didn't mean to exclude anyone. I was just hoping someone from that camp would let us all know what words are not considered "sexist" from that list.

:rofl:

Good job! :thumbsup:
