        According to the German media, this is based on a congress lecture, couldn't yet find a published paper. I have my doubts too.

        Yes, it is based on science reporting in a big German quality newspaper. Still, I find this hard to swallow.

        Western female voices, specifically (Swedish more so, American less so). In societies with less of a cultural norm of equal rights, dimorphism is more pronounced. https://www.br-klassik.de/aktuell/news-kritik/studie-tiefere-stimmen-bei-frauen-100.html …https://www.br-klassik.de/aktuell/news-kritik/frauenstimmen-werden-tiefer-leipziger-stimmsymposium-100.html …

        In my experience, many women now speak in the vocal fry register, about as low in pitch as they can. At least in the parts of the U. S. I’ve spent time in of late.

        Eventually sexual selection will mean all men must speak lower than Leonard Cohen sang in his 60's to 80's. Which is going to be a toughie.

        Deeper correlated to more confident: it is the case for men, not so clearly for women. This psychosociological interpretation is unwarranted.
