[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't hear it in anyone over the age of about 28. It's actively harming careers. As a man I can't speak up because it sounds sexist but hopefully some of the older millenial and gen x women will say something.[/quote]

I'm a millennial woman and I do have something to say about this.

You know what's harming our careers? Sexist mouth-breathing men like you who look for any reason to [b]dismiss the intellect of a female colleague[/b].

If you think vocal fry is annoying, I can guarantee you also sound like a total idiot in meetings. :)[/quote]

Got news for you. How you speak is indicative of how much RESPECT you have for the listeners.

For example, if it is your job to impart serious news to someone (a family, a client) do you really want to be growling at distraught people?  Or giving them factual information while your voice sounds like you are unsure and confused and everything is posed as a upspeak question?

Got news for you, asshole. Your mansplaining attitude is far more disrespectful than a woman's voice. We're not growing animals. We're humans.
