Our brains perceive men's and women's voices differently And that's not a fiction to please patriarchy or matriarchy supporters😁 That is a physiological fact. The fact is that women's voices are often at higher frequencies. And the range of these frequencies is wider than that of male voices. For some unclear reason, our brain is initially better "tuned" to perceive the range of male voices. Therefore, the human brain has to "decode" the meaning of what a woman says, using its additional resources. Speaking about obscurity of the reason of such adjustment of the brain, we can add one more fact. 👉🏻People suffering from auditory hallucinations hear male speech more often.
