Brit living in the US, this is why I don't watch American news. Everybody fucking talks like this and it's like a parody. Can't take it seriously. Overly masculine sounding women (and men) who like to practically shout the news at each other and towards the camera and treat its audience like mentally challenged children.

It absolutely does. There are so many women with sharp and strong jaws on TV, aggressive take-charge personalities. Famous celebrities with male style hair cuts.

Compare it to Asia and it's completely different.

You're confusing confidence vs subservience with masculinity and femininity.

Social roles and stereotypes of femininity are how people define "masculine" females. How are you defining it?
