I am now all caught up on “fundie baby voice,” thanks to the #KatieBritt fiasco.
That high-pitched, soft, breathy way of speaking is what Christianists want grown women—EVEN U.S. SENATORS!—to sound like.
Now I understand why rightwingers always called Hillary Clinton “shrill.” She speaks like an adult capable of taking a full breath, not like a sleepy four-year-old.
(Of course, the misogynist elements on the left followed right along with it. So shrill! the boys said. Can’t vote for her!)
