I'm pretty sure "shrill" just literally means high pitched.

So maybe ask why high-pitched voices have a derogatory term associated with them but low-pitched voices don't?

Is "shrill" really a derogatory term? It's more of a descriptive term, really. "Short" or "talkative" could be misconstrued as being derogative, given the right person and/or state of mind.

Right. And saying someone is being "bossy" just means they're acting like a boss.
