I guess the writer missed the first two words of the tweet she took issue with, "On average"

He does not say the inability to speak without emotion or calm is always an indication of .....he said "on average"

Personally, I believe that several factors contribute to ones ability to calmly discuss a topic and while not all inclusive, I think personality, confidence, experience, and respect come into play. Factors that contribute to less than calm interactions include personality, experience, passion, pain, feeling judged or disrespected, and feeling the need to protect oneself or others to name a few.

Communication has become a lost art and technology is certainly contributing to this.

Note: This is not meant to offend anyone but just a personal opinion.

It's OK, so have I! (And here, too, where I've been shadowbanned.) He really doesn't like female voices.
