And ooooh yes, Cleric can do the "cute" voice, and does. XD
Not as much as I do though, and not quite as extreme. KIIIIIITTTTYYYYYYY…..!!!!!!1!

Maybe you should try out Cleric to see if he uses the "cute"-voice Knowing that it's something he would at least try to consciously avoid using. Let's hope he doesn't read this so my project is ruined

Interesting information about the "cute voice" also.

It's also interesting to note that the study that my teachers mentioned when I studied Linguistics, with regards to the "cutie"-voice, was it was tried and tested on different dog types. It turned out that few would use the voice when talking to a bulldog or a generally large dog, but the smaller the dog and the "cuter" the race, the more likely people would use it. So I wouldn't say that it's a genetic thing for women. It may be that it's more strongly associated with women, maybe because in the past women have been those who took care of the children at least in our culture, and to an extent, still do (still mostly women working at kindergartens, kind of sad), but from personal experience too I know that men use it, and they might use it just as much as women.

As for differences between men and women, I'll just leave it at the point where I disagree with you that it might be hormonal only. Maybe the irrational reaction itself was triggered by hormones, but the actual act I find it hard to tell whether it is truly hormonal or whether it is cultural in terms of cause. And I think the reason why it might be a touchy subject is also that we might want to perceive ourselves as more free (from culture or hormones) than we might actually be. I know that both influence me, but it is impossible for me, as a subject, to realize to what objective extent. As kind of slightly bi-gendered, I've always thought that I am a bit in the middle-ground, although I am aware that I might be leaning more towards behaving like a general woman than a man, but then again, I don't behave the same way with others as I do with those I feel truly close to. In that regard I feel slightly schizofrenic as I don't feel I can fully live out who I feel like I am in most social situations, one could thus say there are many Is.

I feel that that might maybe be a bit beyond the scope of this article though And honestly, we still know very little about the subject, and I don't dare saying much either. Even as a person majoring in social science, I actually still feel pretty clueless when it comes to such things as identity-forming, and it's certainly a topic I wish to explore in many ways once I have gotten my doctorate degree
