I think it is more cuturally acceptable for men to spit and be loud when clearing mucous than women. It’s considered ‘unladylike’ to hock a big lugee while walking down the street, and though it’s not necessarily attractive to spit, it’s better than holding it in and swallowing it, in my opinion. There are obviously women who will spit whenever they feel like it and men who won’t, but I believe cultural mores tell us it’s OK for men to do it but not women. Maybe the throat-clearing thing relates to this point, with men being more free to be noisy about it without negative reactions. Do you react more harshly if a woman does the same thing?
