>>4038999>Mainstream they always boast about women with a fake low voiceWhich mainstream? The ideal woman's voice in modern Japan is fairly high-pitched.
And no, you misunderstand: women who have deeper voices enjoy more esteem not because people prefer deeper women's voices, but because higher-pitched voices are seen as more womanly, and people tend to hate women, even other women.
More correctly: higher-pitched voices are more feminine, and femininity incurs a lower social position.
That's why Elizabeth Holmes chose to speak a few octaves lower than was natural for her, to project authority to powerful men that she wouldn't be able to otherwise had she sounded more feminine.
I'd go so far as to say that the orthodox old-school feminist view is essentially correct: femininity as an ideal is centered on vulnerability and submission, thus, a society which seeks to empower women from their traditionally degraded position would center images of women perceived as having power and authority. Which to our monkey brains means the ones with deeper voices.
