This page of a manga got me thinking, what are the connotations of a Japanese man, maybe middle-aged, saying「あら」? I'd always wondered if it was expressly feminine speech, or if men too said it in an I guess cultured/educated, gentle way like the exclamative "Oh my" or "My" in English.

The manga being 恋は雨上がりのように, for those interested.
