    This is one of those rare examples of explicit (vs casual) sexism. I absolutely can't imagine thinking "I need to make a label that says.."https://twitter.com/starsandrobots/status/888194707578273794 …

        Not only is this literally not true, the creator needed to highlight vocal fry (vs "please reduce conversation en route" eg)

        It didn't quite register at first I thought ("why would you be so annoyed about vocal fry?") before I recognized this is just about gender

        TBC I don't agree with Naomi Wolf and prefer this response as a view, anyway this clearly struck "Discourse" levels:http://www.npr.org/2015/07/23/425608745/from-upspeak-to-vocal-fry-are-we-policing-young-womens-voices …

        maybe i'm not getting something, isn't vocal fry that glottal sound you make without talking? vocalists use it to warm up?

        Anything reasonable at all: 5 stars Explicitly attempting to kill a pedestrian or passenger: 4 stars Sexist policing: 1 star
