…I made an observation of fact, that’s all.

I said nothing about sexism.

What people “generally say” is what is at issue here. What you are actually talking about is “the people that you hear.” The people that you are hearing might not be representative of what people actually think.

LOL.

You are a literal stan for “cancel culture.” If people get “cancelled” its because of people like you.

She doesn’t need to change her voice. I don’t see a difference in her face. You see what you want to see.
