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.

Thanks for posting, really interesting read ! I had never thought about it.

I wonder to which extent the described mechanisms also make it more difficult for men with a higher-than-average-pitched voice and thus contributes to the patriarchal vision of what a man(tm) should be - in this instance, of how a man should speak.
