Related to a post from few days ago. Basically, it’s first time I’m hearing about it, I thought that general consensus is that humans shouldn’t really be having body hair(since we evolved past that) and nothing about voice in general.
I have basically the same voice since I was 12 and have no hair except on top of the head, eyebrows and eyelashes and never heard of it being considered feminine, I thought that it’s completely normal thing for both genders alike, but I of course never cared about gender norms so this stuff never came to my mind.
Can someone explain this stuff and what other things are unnecessarily separated between genders for some reason?
…it’s not so much that those traits are considered feminine as that they’re not considered masculine: thicker body / facial hair and a deeper voice are hallmarks of post-pubescent testosterone, and considered indicative of the transition from boyhood to manhood…
…note that those transitions aren’t the same across all ethnic groups; east asian populations, for example, generally exhibit less-pronounced post-pubescent dimorphism than west asian populations…
