she also did that goofy fake deep voice for some reason

She read that women with deeper voices get taken more seriously by people around them and can be seen here messing it up.

Our silly monkey brains interpret deeper voices as being more authoritative.

It's likely she was taking advantage of that human quirk to make her seem, on a subconscious level, like a better businessperson.

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

In the end, that may be what she's remembered most for

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (3 children)

The reason is she got taken more seriously with a deeper voice

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 9 points 10 months ago

The goofy thing is that it worked on the boomers.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

Well, at least she hoped she would be

[–] M137@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

No, the reason is she did it because she read/heard that it would make others take her more seriously. That's not the same as what you said.
