chelsea peretti’s opening monologue at the tenth annual tech crunchies

#she’s right and she should say it

I think she might be actually right though. I seem to recall the reason NYC’s public transit announcements are both male and female is because a study found men will listen to a female voice for information (so a “service”) but not for warnings or instructions, so they added the male voice so dumb dumbs wouldn’t electrocute themselves/stampede in an emergency.

Men hear a woman’s voice, even a robot woman’s, and just automatically associate it with taking care of them like mommy. If it’s doing anything else, like giving orders, they block it out. 

My father and brother get so mad at my navigation with a female voice. They once spent two days on a visit to Albuquerque mocking it and when I finally snapped that they needed to stop being babies about getting instructions from a female voice, my brother said, “Why do you gotta make this about gender?”
