I agree, the majority of women I know speak with an effeminate tone, but it isn't quite the same as the stereotypical "gay voice" that's described in the article. "Flamboyant" is a word often associated with this stereotype. I feel like it may just be the exaggeration of these effeminate qualities (mixed with the male biology) that make it sound so unique.
