I've noticed that a lot of women (GGs) today are trying desperately to lower their voices. I think it's meant, for some at least, to fit into what has been largely a male-dominated business world. Women, whether consciously or unconsciously (following a trend?), think they're taken more seriously by lowering the timbre of their voice. All you have to do is watch old 1950s TV programs to hear the difference.
Unfortunately, the result for many women is a kind of "gravely' sounding voice which I don't find appealing.
I do find it somewhat frustrating to see genetic women lauded for their attempts to imitate traditional male behaviors, dress, mannerisms, occupations, etc. while at the same time frown on men who give a hint of expressing the feminine.
"Femininity" seems to be undergoing a major redefinition in our society today.
