There was this girl, in college, at a frat party, well she had a raspy voice, we were talking over a couple of cold beers and she says "are we gonna screw soon? Cause I'm getting kinda antsy" so Raspy voices work on me....

Honestly, I just assumed they were heavy smokers (legal or otherwise) or drank a lot. I haven't really run into in my area, but I also don't deal with many people under 40 and very few of them are female.

That has to be a deliberate affectation. Nobody's natural female voice sounds like that. (Alluded to in the video. )

I don't care. A voice like that is not going to make me want to prolong any interaction I may be having with them. I'm actually more sensitive about how people laugh because I like to make people laugh. But not people whose laugh grates on my ears.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

What about the basketball player detained in Russia, Brittany Griner{sp ?}, is she really female ? Never heard a woman voice like that.

Two females of the "Rasp and Roll" genre come to mind (I am sure there are others; and males, too):
Kim Carnes Janice Joplin

Paul, I gotta say I don’t consider these two singers, especially Janis, to be pioneers of “vocal fry.”

Some of the voices of females in TV ads are really strange. The young girl in the Progressive ad meeting her motorcyclist parents is a great example--extreme nasal and most unflattering.
I have a hard time understanding how they can learn to speak like that. It is probably damaging to their vocal cords and is very obnoxious.

Try dealing with that voice in your ear, 12 hours a day. They've been hiring new dispatchers at work, and a few of them sound like that. It's freaking torture.

If you remember the commercial and the product - it worked, and that's all they care about.

I definitely agree that Janis Joplin was not a pioneer of this phenomenon; she sang very naturally in a bluesy way.
Kim Carnes, I don't know; I always thought she sounded like Rod Stewart, but not necessarily as an affectation, which is the essence of (what I am learning is) "vocal fry".

Some women just have raspy voices. THIS isn't that, it's an affect. It's how they use it that bothers everyone. It's got a "valley girl" sound to it in pronunciation, but with the addition of attitude. An attitude that everyone and everything in the world is a burden to them that they shouldn't have to endure.
