As a woman, I feel like a bad feminist because I strongly, strongly prefer the sound of an (adult) all-male choir to that of a female, and I am curious as to why.

At first I thought it was because the male voice range is greater than the female, but looking at all the difference voice types, there isn't really a difference in range between the deepest bass note - highest tenor note and the deepest alto note - highest soprano note.

Google hasn't been very helpful and mostly discusses the differences between little boys' and girls' choirs, which I like equally.

Any ideas why the male choir sounds so much better to me? A female choir makes me think "oh that sounds lovely", but a male choir can make me cry, drop my jaw, etc. etc.

Help!
