Kashmira Gander, writing for Newsweek: A rare ear condition has left a woman only able to hear women’s voices. The woman from Xiamen, on China’s east coast, knew something was wrong when she woke up and couldn’t hear her boyfriend’s voice, MailOnline reported citing AsiaWire.

Title of this thread is intentionally misleading. Its about frequencies of voices, not gender. Women can have low frequency voice and males high frequency voices. It is just less common.

Man, I'm surprised the more conspiracy-whacko incels weren't all over this one... Glad they weren't though. Just to be very clear.
