Is a husband's request to his wife to lower her voice and not gesture with her hands while speaking considered oppression and subjugation?

Addressing the husband in a manner that does not deviate from proper etiquette, lowering one's voice and not raising it, and refraining from gestures that anger him during conversation—these are required matters and not an injustice. The wife must respond to her husband and avoid what provokes him, just as the husband is advised to overlook minor faults and treat his wife with a broad chest (patience) and good companionship.
