The three key exchanges that I analyzed for the media are here. Note the power dynamics in the interactions and tell me what you think about their paralanguage that is his calm voice and her anger. I shared with the reporter the research on how women's voices are heard in the men's brains and how we interrupt anger differently when it is shown in a woman as opposed to a man and said that some people will look at the last two exchanges and say she sounds angry and shrill and criticize her and say he is more restrained and presidential and others are going to hear her voice and say she sounds appropriately angry and powerful. I will put up the research as well.
