What’s the appeal of that podcast again?
Am a linguistics major… researched vocal fry extensively. It’s sexist. It’s no one’s right to criticize how someone talks, especially when the main people you’re criticizing is young women, who already get shit on for everything.
Well most people here are not linguistics majors, have not researched vocal fry extensively, and once again were not coming from a place of hostility. And no one was shitting on young women besides the two who have a public platform on a podcast, of which the post was specifically about. I feel like there is some can’t see the forest for the trees going on here.
That’s not what I’m trying to say. I mean, of course listen to women, especially in regards in things that concern them, their struggles, and oppression. I just feel it was misplaced for what other comrades were trying to say. Like, don’t waste this argument on me or on a thread about Red Scare.
