It's not a speech impediment lisp which is generalized. It's what is is called, a Sibilant S or something. Which is what people mean by "gay voice" or gay lisp, I'm guessing.

Anyway, yes, women can have lisps, too. It's interesting that you've never met a woman with a lisp. They definitely exist.

Okay, but that doesn't answer my question... what is feminine about lisping? If a woman has a lisp, in any sense of the word you like, is it particularly feminine of her?

The argument appears to be "gay men lisp, gay men are feminine, therefore lisping is feminine." I don't see how women come into the equation. In which case, the answer to the OP's question is, "gay men are feminine, because that's how we define feminine..."

What people define as "gay voice" seems to involve a man speaking in way that is very similar to a stereotypical understanding of how women speak in that it's more expressive sounding, with a lilt. That + the sibilant S sound is what people mean by gay lisp/voice.

I understand what you mean by "gay voice," but I'm still trying to understand what the sibilant S has to do with traditional femininity. I do not think that a stereotypical understanding of how women speak includes a sibilant S.

Being very expressive in your mannerisms/speech is not part of how traditional masculinity is meant to be performed. So, anything that doesn't fit into this idea of masculinity = feminine.

This is my point: you're not using "feminine" to mean "like a woman," but rather, to mean "unlike traditional masculinity."

Personally, I think that the "gay accent" happens when a man is using feminine inflections and speech patterns in their voice. If you hang out with a group of people long enough, you'll start to pick up on their commonly used phrases, speech patterns, accent etc. It's human nature. Women are far more likely to be accepting of gay men, so a lot of gay guys have traditionally been close friends with women. They hang out and talk all the time. . .so, it makes sense that he's gonna start picking up on the way his close friend(s) talk, even if he isn't consciously aware of it.




I've personally spoken to gay men who sound V-E-R-Y gay when they've been hanging out with their female friends, but when spoke/hung out with straight guys for a period of time, their "accent" slowly disappeared and they sounded like a typical guy. I mentioned this to them later, and they had no idea that their voice had changed.
