Do women have greater voice recognition than men?

I’m watching a 20/20 slot about a 40 year old woman who pretended to be a sick, very, very sick 14 year old boy. Don’t know why yet. Money, I imagine but I put in on hold to type this.

She had a BUNCH of people convinced that she was a 14 year old boy. They’re showing only men discussing this. They described his voice as very androgynous. It went on for a year, I think.

One of the men had spoken to “Tony’s mother,” too, several times, which was the woman being herself.

The guy’s wife had also spoken to “Tony,” many times.

However, about 9 months into it the the wife spoke to “Tony’s mother” for the first time, got off the phone and turned around and said to her husband, “You’re going to tell me that all of this time you didn’t recognize that it was the same voice?”

So, I just asked this question. I shall resume the episode now.
