Wow, Ben does NOT appreciate being called shrill. He is SO salty about it. Women are just so used to being called hysterical - I've never seen a woman launch into this massive justification about why, in fact, she didn't sound 'stuttery'. He's really pressed about it.
Gosh, he is a vain little man (if that is how he identifies). He appeared to have lied on radio that Stonewall haven't campaigned for the removal of single sex spaces. Yet, it is apparently written down in print that they wanted those removed. And he is navel gazing about is how people are remarking on his shrill voice.
Just a distraction. Would it have been better to have told what seem to be lies in a calm, even voice? His claim for the gold in the disadvantage Olympics was taking up time instead of answering the questions he couldn't handle.
Cry me a river. Many have health problems and don't think that automatically gives us the right to try to remove rights from other people. He (I'm assuming) isn't too laden down with respect or integrity.
I hope he'd exhibit such angst if he ever thought about the ethics of hiring a woman to have a baby. Or guilt worrying about any health consequences she may suffer as a result.
Just 'Oh my god, the haters are saying I have a shrill voice. The haters, how abusive. My voice isn't shrill'. Of course, I'm sure the Pen is News is an example of respect towards women and GLB people who are unashamedly same sex attracted. But don't say someone has a shrill voice, or you're the worst hater.
