Sorry, but saying something for a specific woman even if insulting is not misogyny. When the insult is directed at a distinct being is it not -ism.

It isn't about HER, it is about her VOICE. Criticizing someone for something they have zero control over is on a level below the shit layer.

Voice actors tend to disagree with you about the control. And even if it is shit level - still does not make her voice more pleasant to listen to the (grand)grandparent obviously.

So should be a voice actor? Are you completely insane? What idiotic nonsense is your cognitive dissonance "I cannot possibly be wrong regardless how stupid what I said is" going to produce next?

I don't mind being insulted, but don't try that approach with other people on HN.

Insulting HRC for her voice is not misogyny. The same way insulting Donald Trump for his baldness is not misandry. End of story. If I interact with 10 women today and insult only one of them and I am respectful towards the other 9 - I may be a jerk, but I am not misogynist.

And anyway being a politician is about the presentation - acting, voice, walking, hitting the gym, looking the look.
