> [@Hampshire](#): > > Disagree. I think anytime a female makes her voice heard people immediately label her a Harpy. Pelosi… harpy, Fiorina… harpy, Warren… harpy. Clinton to me is far from “shrill”. It’s just a female voice. Get over it. If you are directing that at me, then that is quite offensive. It reminds me of 2008 when people wanted to label me as a racist because Obama is black and I must not think Obama will be a good President for racial reasons. You know even though I am a Republican I don’t necessarily pass judgements on race in 2008 nor do I pass judgement based on gender in 2016. It has nothing to do with “a female mak[ing] her voice heard” so go ahead and shove the accusation of sexism up your ass where it belongs. It is an attack on one specific woman whose voice gets shrill when she is building up the energy in her speech so she sounds like a harpy and it makes THAT SPECIFIC WOMAN displeasing to listen to. So don’t generalize a statement I make about one specific woman into an accusation of generalized sexism again. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/now-that-the-conventions-are-over-lets-discuss-clinton-vs-trump-campaigns/761206)._
