Professor Higgins asked this question in "My Fair Lady," why can't a woman be more like a man?" He was giving her voice lessons to turn a low class gutter snipe into a high society lady, as an experiment.

Just ignore these idiots. Talk how you want to talk.

Let's be clear about something, babe: You're not going to normalize these unprofessional manners of speaking. Another thing that's not going to be normalized in corporate spaces is this whole choose-your-own-pronoun nonsense.

Babe.... oh boy.. he used Babe... he must be very serious. I mean, he did say BABE!

Upspeak makes you sound uncertain. That’s not misogyny. Women should unlearn it stay and also get rid of the vocal fry, which may also have its roots in trying to temper ones assertiveness.

— very liberal female

ditto. If you use upspeak or vocal fry, I immediately have no interest in what you have to say and have definitely chosen not to hire candidates because of this. Grow up.

Then you’re missing out on talent for a really dumb reason.

Nope. Missing out on nothing but drivel.

Do you know how much you are missing out on? If you can't listen to someone who doesn't have a perfect delivery, whatever "perfect" means to you. That is truly sad because it's so limiting.

Same - no way I'm listening to that crap. When people use upspeak in a meeting, I go out of my way to ask if they had a question. "is there a question in there for the team? Oh, it sounded like a question"

You are blinded by your own perfection. That is sad to miss out on so much. So many Ted talks, podcasts, audio books, conversations, meditations.

You’re disgusting. I’m sorry for your colleagues.
