The primary purpose of these stage directions (with the gallantry of a young politician) is to indicate a character's tone of voice.
Given that he is referring to the ladies, he has to change the tone of his voice a bit to appeal to them more. He cannot speak in a manly voice which he would normally use while speaking to other men, but rather appear more suave and gentleman-like.
I enjoy arguementative essays because I believe that I can voice my opinion without any oppressors. It is hard to put my argument on paper, but after a lot of time and effort, I am able to easily make outlines for these essays which is a useful skill. I have the most trouble with the rebuttal because it is hard to write something that contradicts my opinion.
This is a brief outline, you can add more to it if you’d like.
Hope it helps!
