most men don’t notice they’re listening to a man with vocal fry unless its pointed out to them, often while making that same argument. the voices don’t ping as annoying. ive seen it a billion times during the great vocal fry learning-what-that-word-means the libs had like a decade ago. do you really think you’re special. ive heard multiple recorded examples. im telling you you only think its annoying because its associated with young women, who are supposed to be something that’s inconsequential.

okay but preferences aren’t magical things that spring forth from the fucking ether. they’re based on shit. they’re connected to things. usually cultural biases and implications and values and shit. preferences CAN be problematic. if you’re trying to avoid that so aggressively, it’s because you know most of yours are rooted in problematic shit.

because if you can’t ask more of your fucking desires, of your literal fucking aspirations, how can you ask more of literally anyone or anything?

This specific instance picked up on VOCAL FRY. Vocal frying is pretty much only done by young women, and they’ve been shit on for it for no reason, just like how young women get shit on for everything else. Maybe the actual act of vocal fry isn’t annoying, rather it’s just that society has told you it is.
