Yelling at him is a waste of time. And it also lowers her to his level.

She doesn't need to yell or turn herself into a bellower like him. That's not what or who she is. She made her point eloquently and fully in keeping with who she is.

Funny, no one is saying that he should start speaking softer and more respectfully. It is others - especially women - who are supposed to change how they engage in order to be given credit.
