Or maybe it has something to do with how no one likes the way their voice sounds and if you're constantly posting to social media, doing a vocal fry can make it sound less bad to yourself.
It's just women who found out that people take them more seriously if they speak with a lower pitch. Vocal fry is what happens when you try to go below your lowest pitch. Men do it too, just check out this guy
