Those are the same people that confuse assertion with aggression I suppose? One is acceptable - even necessary in a good leader - the other is absolutely not. Bercow's behaviour was aggressive by all accounts. If you have to raise your voice to make a point, much less lose your temper, you've already lost.

Expecting respect is not the same as being a snowflake.

I heard her on the radio in the morning. She isn't a snowflake as she had no issues speaking up when Bercow was speaker unlike other MPs. She actually challenged him on calling her "stupid woman" then it was televised.

Interesting that Leadsom didn't actually hear Bercow say such a thing and only really kicked up a fuss after the Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May exchange.

Probably but she apparently didn't do the optional module "throwing your mobile at underlings for fun".
