Comment on Are there regions of the world where local men and women have divergent accents?
GreenBeard@lemmy.ca 2 days agoI mean, again, most if not all of them. Almost every language there’s slight variations in pronunciation, intonation, vocabulary and pacing between men and women that would otherwise qualify as a “different accent.” It’s more pronounced in some regions and dialects, but most of them have “male” and “female” variations.

Can you give an example? People have different idiolects but slight changes in intonation aren’t usually enough to make an accent of one type distinct from others in that type. Like not everyone with the General American accent sounds exactly the same but you can still say this group is GenAm, this other one is Appalachian, etc.
