Some days I'm convinced that most ardent proponents of vocal fry are misogynists who don't want women to be taken seriously. In all honesty, vocal fry and uptalk make me ashamed to be female.
What the fuck? You know, men "commit" vocal fry, too. So you can just be ashamed of being an asshole now.

Dude.
But I think the person to whom you're responding was pointing out that it was odd and suspect that people thought that this would be a good thread to mention all the other things that bugged them.
I know exactly why I responded to that threadperson, and I don't appreciate it being explained it to me as if I didn't understand, when I already explained /why/ in my above comment and reply to that person? I see the connections being made between all the frustrations, because they ARE connected. They are all micro-aggressions. I quite literally posted a link that explored the link between all of them. Now I'M frustrated, because I can't tell if you actually understood that I was making a point about how microaggressions and links to debasing feminity are connected, and I am unsure if you are understanding that, and now I have to do the emotional labor of asking? Like, sure, you said that "I made a good point" but trying to explain what I was doing to me is...insulting? I'm getting really upset here, and now I'm going to have to leave because I'm really pissed, because everything about this strikes a really sour tone. Was I just mansplained to? Feeling disoriented.
The link that odinsdream posted above is exactly what I was relating to.

it's fascinating to watch newer members
It used to be, but I think they'll be posting differently now that they know an experienced and unbiased member is watching them with such interest.

Uh, I want to be charitable, so I'll give you a chance to clarify: were you trying to be a dick?

Whatever. New members throwing shit at jessamyn (of all members!) is the new normal?

You know what sucks? Men shouting at the TV when something happens to the sports team they like or hate or just are watching because it's the only sports team on.
This is a valid complaint. I try not to, but you do not know the pain of being an Eagles fan.
EFFFFF UUUU MILES AUSTIN!!!!!!

Seriously. I hear this a lot from men who are Packers fans. Those men are the worst.

I'm pretty sure I never managed to get into supporting team sports because of all the yelling. As a kid I went on a father-son bonding-type thing to see the local rugby team he supported play, and found, strangely enough, being surrounded by burly men 3 foot taller than myself yelling ferociously at other men I couldn't really see tackling each other to not be an experience I was particularly keen to repeat. Sure, it's a cultural norm, but I would have much preferred quiet polite clapping. I will happily watch tennis for this reason.
