Hillary wasn't branded as shrill. She was branded as a cipher, a criminal, a stuffed suit, etc. But I do not recall anyone calling her shrill. Which makes total sense because she's not even close to shrill. The woman is preternaturally cool.
If you're trying to rewrite history to suggest Hillary lost in part because she was perceived as a hysterical female, I have to call serious bullshit. Nobody thought she was weak, emotional, or unpredictable. It was her coolness and deliberateness that people criticized. The sexism there was a really shitty expectation that because she was a woman, she could not be a detached, cold pro... That she had to be warm, while Trump could be a completely emotional lunatic.
