In reply to the discussion: The Bernie double standard, where he gets to shout but the rest of you should lower your damn voices [View all]SleeplessinSoCal
(9,514 posts)25. The media take on this is nauseating.
It's "elther" "or" and not the idea that being heard when when Bernie speaks far above his normal speech level when he debates or speaks to a broader audience. Hillary's voice requires some pushing in order to project it. Obama has a magnificent voice which never sounds shrill or like angry shouting that we often hear from Hillary or Sanders. Poor Bill Clinton never figured out how to project his voice and still goes hoarse.

the line "sometimes when a woman talks it sounds like shouting" sounds good.
