An old article, but I just stumbled upon it and found it enlightening. The trope of criticizing women for the way they talk has deeper implications than I thought.

The podcast Twenty Thousand Hertz did a great episode on this topic - I recommend it. I think it was this one: [Twenty Thousand Hertz] The Leaky Pipeline https://podcastaddict.com/twenty-thousand-hertz/episode/135413913

It's a great podcast about audio otherwise, too.

On a related note, if you search, you can find a lot of articles/podcast eps/etc about the differences in how people respond to vocal fry and upspeak depending on if it comes from a man or a woman.
