Women have more weird vocal affectations these days, why?

I can't help but hear my wife on a zoom call from her work. The women she talks with sound utterly ridiculous. It's difficult for me to listen to it honestly. I've kind of noticed over the last 15-20 years that a lot of women seem to have developed some very distinct vocal habits that weren't nearly as common when I was growing up.

Two examples I can hear are uptalk and vocal fry. Uptalk being the most pervasive. How do they know they're not doing this annoying shite?

There are a few other vocal trends I've noticed too:

Excessive use of filler words: "like" and "literally"
Vocal elongation ("sooooo cute," "I knooooow")
High-pitched "customer service" voices that disappear when talking to friends
The habit of turning every sentence into a dramatic story, even when describing ordinary events

I'm not saying men don't have their own annoying habits. We definitely do. But women's vocal affectations seem to be way more noticeable and widespread especially in the last 15-20 years.

What I'm curious about is why these things spread. Is it social media? Hollywood? Peer groups? Some kind of unconscious signaling?

I've also heard that most of these patterns aren't random and serve social purposes for women but some of them still sound strange to my ears.

Do you tend to look at them differently because of it? I know I do.
