[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Listening to her hypernasal voice makes me want to jump through the TV and tell scream, "stop talking through your nose"!  That, coupled with her message, also makes me want to punch her in her nose.  So, no, I try to never watch her.[/quote]

Isn't it funny how no one ever complains about Bill O' Reilly's voice or Hannity's voice or any other male host?  Hmm.[/quote]

Why would it be funny?  And people complain about their tone constantly.  Or are you just trying to inject some -ist bait in this thread?[/quote]

Complaining about content or tone (that they are nasty, or contributing to incivility) is different than complaining about the quality of a woman's voice, or how it sounds. And it is another way you try to push women out of the discourse. Not touching the content (which is a changeable choice) but attacking how they look or sound (which is much harder to change and more fundamental to who they are).
