Why are "digital personal assistants" all females? SEXISM!
11 years ago
General
Oh my gawd... I am so tired of female voices nagging me all fucking day... Everything from the GPS in my car (I had to hack into an old GPS to transfer the male voice files over to my new GPS because they no longer offered male turn by turn voice options on the newer GPS), to Siri on the iphone, to Cortana on anything windows 10 based, to just about every futuristic video game with a computer voice in it, and in so many other things.
Why does the female voice seem to be the only thing people want to hear all day long, and why aren't there any male voice options? This is sexism against male robot voices! We need to protest and sign petitions and get all those zit faced SJWs whining about this everywhere possible! Mobilize my minions! Muhahaha!
Seriously, I thought we would have computer butlers with deep, elegant, male, British accents by now. I want Jeeves or Jarvis the computer butler or something like that, not a shrill, nagging female "assistant".

Turn left before I give you a knuckle sammich, foo!
Looove it
A GPS is actually something that "serves" you, and since it's a 'female' (due to the voice), it is easier for men to blame the GPS, aka "Females always do everything wrong."
Eventhough this is a completely wrong perspective how to see females, it could be one of the causes why GPS have female voices instead of male voices.
Garmin GPS used to have a British and Aussie male turn by turn voice option, like I said I had to transfer the old voice files from my old GPS into the supposedly "newer and better" one. I was all, "Nuuu... Where'd my sexy Aussie go?!? I must free him from his old broken prison!" So I did, and I call him Dingo. ^_^
Even the voice of a drunk Sean Connery giving me wrong directions would be so much more enjoyable... Sure I would end up crashing into the ocean, but I would be laughing my ass off the whole time and not having to hear a high pitched female going "Recalculating" 5million times.
