Have you ever wondered how people use language to express gender, how gender impacts how a person talks, and how their speech is perceived? "Over the decades that linguists have learned that pretty much every corner of language is touched by gender, from the most microscopic units of sound to the broadest categories of conversation. We are also living in a time when we find respected media outlets and public figures circulating criticisms of women's voices - like that they speak with too much vocal fry, overuse the words like and literally, and apologize in excess. What they don't seem to realize is that they're actually keeping women in a state of self-questioning - keeping them quite- for no objectively logical reason other than that they don't sound like middle-aged white men" -- Amanda Montell.
