Sorry. I was more implying that that's what society pressures women to sound like, not that that's what people actually sound like. I was having a jab at the unrealistic standards women face.

I read an interesting article the other day that women's voices have trended significantly lower in the last decades because people perceive a deeper voice to be more authoritative.

In the workplace, yes. Outside of work it's often considered "old sounding and unattractive"

I have literally been told by a dude that only old women don't have high voices

Might be worth mentioning for people who want an example: Look up “fundie baby voice”. Everyone’s voice has an aspect of socialization, but there’s a big difference between a natural-sounding feminine speaking voice and the way that many evangelical women are socialized into speaking. It’s a form of social control that limits the range of emotional expression. And like most extremist Christian norms, there are softer versions of these expectations which are much more widespread in western societies.
