The way I figure it, it used to be that most businesses used to consider majority of their customers to be male so they perhaps also assumed that being male they would obviously be lonely and sexually depraved and they would obviously find a female voice more endearing. That used to be the social mindset, but nowadays its mutated into something like, we are so being forced to get accustomed to a female voice that after a while, due to the constant ingraining people become helpless and institutionalised to the level where they just can’t do without a female voice or a female presence in their life for that matter.

Now let me be clear, I have nothing against the female voice in general and I have no problem in being greeted by it now and then. But just imagine, you coming home you are greeted by the voice of JARVIS(Paul Bettany) from Iron Man;

“Good evening sir, hope you had a pleasant day. Will it be tea, coffee or scotch?”

Heck I wouldn’t even mind an AI with the voice of Sean Connery greeting me with

“How was the day you friggin idiot?”

Way better than a fake female voice emanating fake emotions.

What I really fail to understand is why so many people find it so easy to relate every normal regular activity to an ulterior sexual motive. So I happen to find a male voice more reassuring. Not because I’m gay which I’m not and that’s not only because I had a traditional upbringing but I did ponder over it and came to the conclusion that I just don’t feel sexually about the members of my own sex. But what I’m most certainly not is a homophobe so no one can make me feel ashamed of associating and being more at ease with my fellow men or make me antagonise them just by accusing me of being a homosexual.
That just doesn’t work on me. And I’m fed up of seeing happily ignorant blue pilled douchebags like the ones on Motorola’s forums come at me just because I asked if I could change the voice assistant from female to male in the next update. I got greeted by comments like “F~~ detected” “GHAY” “No he’s just a misogynist prick who hates femininity”.

Nah, it hopeless..

P.S. This is just a rant. Needed to let it out of my system. My apology for my choice of words.

I have Serius XM. and I like it, terrestrial radio (AM/FM) sucks!

They need to shoot the squeaky mousy voices that p~~~ me off. I shoved a screwdriver “through” my car stereo and destroyed it, why? To much f~~~ing Phil Collins on the radio at that time, all day long Phil f~~~ing Collins! All he could do is play an 8 second clip, and then loop the f~~~ing thing for 5 minutes, talk about a f~~~ing broken record!

When I worked at a certain military base, I was told that the warning system on the F-18s was known as “Bitching Betty” because of that.

This is exactly what I mean by rape culture. Listen to the female voices as portrayed by our corperate honcho’s.

Always sweet, always patient, always helpful. What a stereotype. I think there is nothing wrong with what a real woman sounds like and such obsconding with this female voice, the most personal and private thing a woman has. I think it’s a form of vocal rape.

We feminists must rise up and demand that these unrealistic portrayals of women’s voices, which are clearly designed to inculcate a sense of patriarchal dominence of women be taken down. This would at least show corperate censure of the ever present rapist.

Suggested feminist femputer greetings include:

“What do you want? Why you’s always callin me, chilax.”
“Who’s this, wait, I have another call, yes how can I help you, just one minute, sorry I have another call. Is this Chuck, sorry wrong connection… Could you be a sweety and call back when we’re not so busy…click…hmmmmm.”
“What do I look like? Yo moma, now what do you want, I’m busy”

We want a Femputer that tells a man what he wants not gives a man what he needs because, PATRIARCHY!

In practice, give me a kawaii asian girl please. Like an adorable bratty little sister.

I told her that it was the deeper voice and the authority of it that made the difference. It also helped that I would speak in a normal voice and not SHRIEK! at them. LOL.
