I am astonished to read this! One thing i have laways thought about American and Canadian women is that their voices are low compared to anywhere else! In fact I recently spoke to a lister on the phone amnd made that very comment. (It didn't occur to me that all American/Canadian women were lesbian.) I am not sure I like Joni's comment about hair and lesbians really.
