what is with men being mad any time a woman raises her voice where did that even come from. someone posted a video of a small electrical explosion, and the top comment was of course the woman screams. the second comment is women try not to scream challenge, level impossible. i had to go back and watch the video again. there is, somewhat fainty, a little gasp emitted off-camera, more of a yelp than a scream. it is mostly lost in the crack of the explosion. afterwards, you hear her voice, shaken, say, are you okay?
i am helping one of my friends train her voice pitch lower, because she wants to be taken seriously at work. she and i do each other's nails and talk about gender roles; and how - due to our appearance - neither of us have ever been able to be "hysterical" in public. we both appear young and sweet and feminine. she is cisgender, and cannot use her natural voice in her profession because people keep saying she appears to be "vapid". we both try to figure out if our purposeful voice lowering is technically sexist. is it promoting something when you are a victim to it?
a storm almost sends a pole through a car window. in the dashcam, you can hear the woman passenger say her partner's name twice, crying out in alarm. she sounds terrified. in the comments, she is lambasted for her lack of calm. how is that even fucking helping?
in high school, i taught myself to have a lower voice. i had been recorded when i was genuinely (and righteously) upset; and i hated how my voice sounded on the phone speakers when it was played back. i was defending my mom, and my voice cracked with emotion. it meant i was no longer winning the argument: i was just shrieking about it.
girls meet each other after a long summer and let out a little joyful scream. this usually stops around 12-14, because people will not tolerate this display of affection (as it has the effect of being passingly annoying). something about the fact that little girls can't ever even be annoying. we are trained to examine each part of our lives (even joy) for anything that could make us upsetting and disgusting. they act like teenage girls are breaking into houses and shrieking you awake at 3 in the morning. speaking as a public school educator: trust me, it's not that bad, you can just roll your eyes and move on. it does not compare to the ways boys end up being annoying: slurs in graffiti, purposefully mocking your body, following you after you said no. you know, just boy things.
there's another video of a man who is not allowed to yell in the house, so he snaps his fingers when he's excited about soccer. the comments are full of angry men, talking about how their brother is unfairly caged. let him express himself and this is terrible to do to someone. eventually the couple has to address it in a second video: they are married with a newborn baby. he was trying not to wake the infant up. there is no comment on the fact women are not allowed to yell indoors. or the fact that it could have been really alarming or triggering for his wife. sometimes i wonder if straight men even like women, if they even enjoy being in relationships with them.
for the longest time, i hated roller coasters because it always felt inappropriate and uncomfortable for me to scream. one of my friends called me on it, said it was unusual i'm so unwilling. i had to go to my therapist about it. i don't like to scream because i was not raised in a safe situation, and raising my voice would have brought unsafe attention towards me. even when i am supposed to scream, it feels shameful, guilty. i was not treated kindly, so i lack a basic form of self-protection. this is not a natural response. it is not good that in a situation of high adrenaline - i shut up about it.
something very bad is happening, i think. in between all the beauty standards and the stuff i've already discussed - this one feels new and cruel in a way i can't quite express. yes, it's scary and silencing. but there's something about how direct it is - that so many men agree with the sentiment that women should never yell, even in an emergency - it feels different.
is the word shriek gendered automatically? how about shrill or screech? in self defense class, one of the first things they tell you is to yell, as loud and as shrilly as you can. they say it will feel rude. most women will not do this. you need to practice overcoming the social pressure and just scream.
most women do not cry out, even when it's bad. we do not report it. we walk faster. we do not make a scene. what would be the point of doing anything else? no matter what we do, we don't get taken seriously. it is a joke to them. an instagram caption punchline. we have to present ourselves as silent, beautiful, captivating - "valuable."
a woman is outside watching her kids when someone throws a firecracker at them. she screams and runs towards her children. in the comments, grown men flock together in the thousands: god. women are so annoying.
#warm up#writeblr#this one has bothered me for a bit#any time a woman does something even passingly annoying we treat it like a fucking crime#hey man. women are allowed to be annoying. everyone forever is allowed to be passingly annoying#as long as they aren't hurting anyone/thing#like u wanna know something? i find it super annoying that men don't wear seatbelts#why arent there thousands of comments on driving videos thats just like : men try not to die in a car crash challenge#''this briefly annoyed me''. okay??????? AND????????????????? go get ur self a cookie and calm down about it#ur not entitled to control other ppl's experiences and emotions just so u can maintain ur own peace#if being briefly annoyed ruins ur whole day! you! need! therapy!!!!#men try not to become immediately angry about nothing challenge: level impossible#ps author is nonbinary. we didn't even get into the gender presentation thing#the fact men think it's SEXY that my voice is on the lower end....

serious question about voice volume from a traumatized, autistic person
I don't know if this has happened to other people or not. Most of my friends are autistic and/or neurodivergent so we are all somewhat aware that the modulation/volume of our voice can go up and down.
My voice is typically soft to moderate and high-pitched. I can get loud, but I think I can usually tell when I do.
I know it's happened to me and a couple of people - and we usually kindly inform the other, if there is an issue (like it's late and people are trying to sleep or something). It's never been a huge problem.
However, there's been this behavior from two of my exes (including my ex-spouse) when I've tried to advocate for myself or been passionate about a topic... they've looked really upset and told me:
"You're screaming."
It has always taken me aback because, in those moments, I've reflected and didn't intend to scream or even think I was screaming. It always leaves me confused and uncertain... and I lose my train of thought.
They don't really mention my voice going up most other times when I know I'm screaming.
It's possible that the volume of my voice did go up during those times - I don't know for sure, but I don't think so.
Later on, in reflection, I realized it was possibly a way for them to shut me up when I was saying something they didn't like... or if they were embarrassed by me in public.
Have people pointed out to you that you're screaming, and you didn't think you were?

Armando Poeta Suggests Voice-Controlled Programming for the Future of Flying
Overview
Advancing technology has led to many developments including in industries like aviation.
Further integrating technology such as voice control programming in autopilot is another step toward the future.
It will help pilots focus better, facilitate communication between pilots and controllers with language differences, and reduce radio traffic.
Possible future implementation of this technology can include other vehicles from spaceships to cars to vessels.
Technology has changed the way we interact, shop, travel, make decisions, and think. Air travel for the masses seemed like a dream not so long ago. Yet today, aviation is a thriving industry that continues to develop, and it seems vacations in space are not such a far-fetched dream.
While modern aircraft are already equipped with the most sophisticated and advanced autopilot in the industry, there is always room for improvement. Armando Poeta, speaking from his experience of 19 years in the Italian Air Force, pointed out that the limit to the autopilot function was that the pilot needs to go “head down” to program it. During high workload environments—something Armando Poeta is quite familiar with—such as when flying below 10,000 ft, changes in the flight plan—for example, receiving a different runway to land, may require both pilots to divert their attention from making sure of no other traffic to look inside and program the autopilot and/or read the charts.
Voice-Controlled Autopilot Programming
According to Armando Poeta, a simple solution would be to implement the existing modern technology which allows us to control our personal devices through voice commands, like Siri, and integrate it with the autopilot and/or flight controls.
The idea of voice-controlled aircrafts is not too foreign and has been considered by many industry leaders. Armado Poeta thinks the idea is gaining popularity because of its simplicity and the ease with which it can be turned into reality.
So how would it actually work? The Voice Control and Command (VCC) software, when activated, would run in the background of the autopilot function in aviation and monitor radio conversation. The software would be programmed to recognize when Air Traffic Control (ATC) contacts a specific airplane and gives her a particular command, such as “Delta 123 climb and maintain FL 230”. With this set and structured command, Armando Poeta believes the system would be able to preprogram the autopilot command and wait for the pilot to verify them and give their consent to execute or not.
Using Technology To Bridge Language Barriers
But what about non-English speaking areas? Armando Poeta recognizes that in places where English is not the first language, it may be difficult for AI to understand what the instruction of the controller may be. The solution could be providing a data function used to type commands to a plane and send it to them via a data link. The system can then interpret this command and use it to program the autopilot. Again, while the system would program according to the command received, it would only be executed after verification by the pilot to minimize error.
The technology can be further integrated to allow the pilot to do the same from the inside of the plane by pushing a specific, dedicated button to activate the system and give commands to the plane without getting too distracted from monitoring external factors. The command could go something along the lines, of Delta 123 load ILS 24L at LAX, XYZ transition. Once the system programs the same, the pilot would activate the controls after verifying.
Safer and Easier Flying
Armando Poeta comments on how this kind of technology can also be very useful to reduce radio chatter for routine conversation that can make a frequency busy and unavailable to an aircraft in actual distress. It could also reduce miscommunication between the pilot and ATC who speak different languages, or where the radio coverage is not optimal.
As someone who has been flying since they were 16, Armando Poeta believes that helping the pilots to look outside and keep their hands on the controls rather than on managing the autopilot and Flight Management System (FMS) makes the job easier and safer for them
Possible future implementation of this technology can include other vehicles from spaceships to cars to vessels.

the barbie (2023) experience as an afab non binary person is just [reconnecting with your femininity and love for pink bc you couldnt when u were younger bc being too girly will get u made fun of] [feeling guilt bc u dont identify with being a girl but girlhood is so inherently beautiful and magical and no experience is truly like it] [healing the inner child in you by allowing yourself to enjoy dolls and pink and maximalism] [unapologetically letting yourself wear pink and be stereotypically girly in a society where being non binary means you have to be presenting androgynous 24/7] [getting your grown-up heart shattered and then put back together again by your inner child using sparkly glue over and over in the span of two hours] [realizing that no matter what you do you have somewhat experienced girlhood and it shaped you to be the person you are today and you will never get to erase that experience or truly disconnect yourself from it] [appreciating and understanding your mother in a way that you thought wasnt possible without experiecing motherhood]
#my brain has permanently been altered by the barbie movie#ALSO THE MOMMY ISSUES IN THE MOVIE GOD FUCKING DAMN#when barbie said that the old woman is beautiful it makes me not fear getting old anymore#it's just all this time i feel so guilty like nothing but guilt when i present myself as femme and act all feminine but then identify with#being enby#and when i vocally advocate for feminism and all that but theres a little voice in my head going#but youre not a part of that club anymore you left them#BUT I KNOW ITS NOT WITHIN MY CONTROL BC I DONT HAVE CONTROL OF MY GENDER AND HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT#barbie#barbie movie#barbie 2023#ken#margot robbie#ryan gosling#mine#queer#woah 1k?????#1k#2k

In the Details: Turn it off!
Amazon Alexa’s ability to set timers is great and one of the very few things I actually use my Echo for. If I already have a timer set, I can set additional timers and name them so that I can distinguish between them. I can ask how much time is left on a specific timer. “Alexa, how much time is left on the potato timer?” That’s really smart.
When a timer goes off, however, I have a hard time getting it to shut up. I feel like I ought to be able to tell it to stop without saying the trigger word. Even when I do say the trigger word first, it seems I almost always have to tell it twice, as if it’s harder for it to hear me. It seems to me that while the alarm is going off, it should automatically be listening for commands like “Stop!”
