Maybe Congress should investigate.

And be careful.. Once I heard it in this context, I can't unhear it.

The worst is the valley girl/vocal fry combo.

I guess it's a good thing-whenever I hear that vocal fry creaking, I instantly lose any fanciful notions I may have had.

This is bad, and people should feel bad.

I didn't know this was a thing until now. I need to hang out around more women.

I had never really thought about this. I've heard it of course, (but didn't really notice it) but didn't know it was a thing.

Unless I'm mistaken, guys vocal fry all the time. Why is it okay for them but so terrible for women?

Are you talking about gay voice?

Nope, super common for straight guys to use it as well; Ira Glass, for example, has the worst vocal fry that I've heard. Harassing women instead of men with regards to how their voice sounds is a thing, better seen and not heard and whathaveyous.
