    I agree woth most of these but when it comes to upspeak/vocal fry, not at all. People exclusively criticize women for it. I’m pretty sure these criticisms are rooted in misogyny.

      I feel like upspeak and vocal fry are more prevalent in women (for whatever reason), but i think it’s equally annoying whomever is doing it.

      This talking point doesn’t make sense to me because feminine and masculine voices sound different, so it would make sense that some aspects maybe annoying one a feminine voice and not a masculine voice, and vice versa. Also, I don’t think that some of the source of annoyance comes from the voice itself, but it’s cultural association. The reason why it is so annoying to me is because I associate it with vanity and celebrity worship (probably because of the Kardashians, couldn’t tell you which one as I try to avoid them at all costs).
