All of us people without weird issues with women?
You are clearly not aware of this, but that’s who she’s running against, so that is the obvious and natural comparison.
Have you seen or read a single thinkpiece on Donald Trump’s actual voice (not how he talks but his voice) and how it’s a detriment to him?
Now that you mention it, I can’t help it but Bill Clinton has a resting do-me face.
Reasons Trump yelled last week: “He’s just inexperienced with the teleprompter”, “the room was loud”, “he wanted to make sure he spoke clearly”
Reasons Clinton was harsh this week: “She didn’t practice modulating her voice”, “She was lecturing us”, “She’s a bad speaker”, “She didn’t smile enough”
I sense a difference,…
This is the angle the media is taking and they’re sticking to it regardless of how it actually sat with people who were listening. God forbid she not mommy you while discussing policy and the future of this country. I already have a mommy, I don’t need her for that nor do I see a mother figure in every woman I…
He has The Penis Pass.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssss. There have been many, many presidential candidates with annoying voices. Trump is the most obvious, but as you mentioned, JFK was just the worst public speaker - outstanding speeches, mind you, but his tone drives me crazy. See also, Richard Nixon’s mouth full of marbles, George H. Bush’s…
Trump always sounds like somebody who’s lecturing the manager of an Applebee’s about his sub-par serivce.
I personally find Hillary's voice to be very attractive and engaging. Probably because behind the voice is a brain to match wits with anyone, and she can definitely school a lot of people on many different levels. And she's an attractive woman.
Yeah, or Bernie Sanders’ voice, which always sounds mildly harassive due to the NYC accent, and his resting bitch face. (To be fair ppl have called out the RBF.)
You know, it’s possible for both their voices to be trash. And honestly, who cares. If a mute can pass policy and good laws while upholding the Constitution, that’s all that matters.
Criticizing her for her literal voice is something very, very different from criticizing her skills as an orator.
Yes, Clinton is shrill but somehow red faced hate filled screaming is somehow not abrasive. I wonder why that is?
Now you’re just flying off the rails away from what we’re talking about, which is whether her oratory skills are sufficient, and where criticisms of her speech go from being legitimate to being sexist. 10 years of planning can’t change the fact that she doesn’t have the same natural speaking ability as people like her…
“Robotic” and “insincere” are both perfectly fine criticisms. So, in fact, are Sullivan’s “pedestrian” and “uninspiring”. People are free to disagree with you, but those are terms that are routinely applied to male speakers as well as female.
And at least when she talks her mouth doesn’t look like it’s literally about to squeeze out a turd.
You can address it, but address it in a way that isn’t sexist. The criticisms launched by Hume and Sullivan both fell into the trap of criticizing her for things that, if they were coming from someone with the bass provided by having an adam’s apple and more testosterone, would have been considered perfectly fine.
I definitely think Sullivan fell into the trap of double standards when it comes to men and women speaking.
