46. boy are you stretching
your first example is of the performance of a piece of music as being brittle. The other examples- except for the last- aren't bad. Describing an attitude as brittle is different than describing a person as brittle.

Calling Clinton Hard and brittle is classic codified sexist language and dog whistle politics. And it's the combination that makes it so obvious. It's obvious to the majority of posters on this thread. I find it interesting that a couple of men are so vested in trying to prove that it's not.
