A strange experiment...

Post by Nightshade »

Trump as a woman?



The actor portraying Trump had all of his creepy hand gestures down too...but *shock,* audience members in the experiment liked "her" debate performance vs the male Hillary Clinton actor.

An interesting exercise in bias.

No shock here. Hillary sounded like an emotionless dispassionate robot whenever she spoke to an audience and the guy in your video is just mimicking that. Of course he's not going to appeal to most listeners when he (and Hillary) spoke without emotion or conviction. People like passion in a speech. But liking a speech because it sounds or feels good doesn't always give you the best person for the job. :wink:

But women have to be careful about that too. If they sound too passionate or shrill when they speak, they're dismissed as too emotional. Same with a black man. If he comes off as too passionate or emotional, he's automatically dismissed as a angry black man. :roll:
