"Why Do So Many People Hate the Sound of Hillary Clinton's Voice?"

A piece by Elspeth Reeve, who seems to have the Hillary + gender gig at the New Republic.

Clinton "has a loud and clear voice," Stanford linguist Eckert says. "A �nice� woman tends to have a breathy voice," she explained, sounding a little Marilyn Monroe-ish. "There�s nothing breathy about Hillary Clinton�s voice. And if somebody doesn�t want a woman to be powerful they�re not going to like that voice."

Nunberg agrees: "People have become so conscious of the semi-coded ways in which people communicate these sexist notions of aggression." Like Frank Luntz noting he would get "hit" by Media Matters, for example. "Voice will be the place where that comes home to roost. ... It�s just another way of saying �shrill.�"
