Are women more likely to lose their voice because they don't have an adams apple?

[Anonymous]

The adams apple, something men develop during puberty which causes our voices to get deeper, is just more protection for the voice box for men. So, if women don't have one, is that why women usually lose their voice more often than men?

The Adams apple is the laryngeal prominence, it's just cartilage that covers the larynx which everyone has... Even women. It's just not as prominent in most women. It's just there to protect from external injury.

Um, women DO have Adam's apples; they're just smaller. The next time you're strangling a woman, feel up toward the top of her throat- it's up there.
