I think this is a very lazy kind of cultural analysis. The reason female voices are being chosen over male ones is a little more multifaceted than just SEX. Heterosexual women also tend to prefer female voices over male ones.
Female voices are often rated as being clearer, easier to understand, "warmer", etc.
Why this is the case is still an open question, but it's definitely more complex than just SEX.
- selkin 1y agoThat you consider it sex (rather than gender), is exactly why there’s a preference for female coded voices. Consider where we do hear male recorded voices used as default.
- recursive 1y agoOverloaded term. It was a reference to the parent's reference. > satisfying the sexual desires of So, "sex" as a reference to "sexual desires". In English, it just so happens that "sex" has other meanings, but those weren't in play at the time.

- akimbostrawman 1y agoHow the hell would you determine someone's self assigned social gender based on there voice which is a result of there physical sex.
- kadoban 1y agoI don't think that this is the only factor, I just suspect that it is _a_ factor.
- lacy_tinpot 1y ago>There's not typically quite as much interest in doing the same for women. Women also prefer female voices.
- kadoban 1y agoOkay. I'd happily believe that, it doesn't contradict what I said. The quote you have from me is from this context: > There's a lot of money and effort spent in satisfying the sexual desires of (predominantly straight) men. There's not typically quite as much interest in doing the same for women. In that context, your response is impossible to respond to. Do you even disagree with what I said or do you (like me) just think that there are other factors in addition? Any particular reason you're being kind of a dick btw?
