Men have always been obsessed with the fantasy that they could give life to a woman instead of the other way around — Adam’s rib, Pygmalion’s statue and Andrew McCarthy’s “Mannequin.” The point is not just to create women but to control them. https://nyti.ms/2OV4wyj pic.twitter.com/G9LFuUcLvx

Never mind that Frankenstein’s monster was male, conjured by a woman. And Terminator probably isn’t relevant, or HAL from 2001. I’m sure there are copious other examples. Woman give life. When men try, it goes wrong, which is kinda the lesson of those stories, no?

This is stupid. The deeper voice of a male is harder to understand when listened to on tiny, cheap speakers. Its really as simple as that.

@nytimes this article is an exemplar of everything wrong with modern journalism. Step 1: Find any subject matter that has any identifiable race or gender to it. Step 2: Find any problems, no matter how small, with said thing. Step 3: Assign all blame for problems found to *-ism.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Is this something people are really upset about? What if they placed a black persons voice, would we be inferring these devices are surrogate slaves? Cmon

Rubbish. There are male voiced alternatives.

'Women online' aren't voice controlled assistant cyborgs. Voice controlled assistants aren't cyborgs, they're software programs. Hardware can't gender, not alive. Penis into machine not make woman. Another legacy media death knell piece, where the conversation ends.

This is nothing new. The Times has been a part of it. Women's shelf life is as long as their body and face hold up. Our magazines are slathered with images of teenagers. It gives us little to aspire to outside of our natural born physical appearance and fertility.

I set my GPS to a male voice. I am not taking directions from a woman.

Holy moly. If the default voice was male they'd be shrieking about male control and assumed authority.

Assumed authority. I like that. I've never heard of it Its as if I've coined a new hashtag for someone to attach to some meaningless protest.

Why is this even an issue? If women are equal to men, then they can do what they want and not adhere to these new standards, that are not directed by law, so it is only for the individual to deal with. Either you as a female are an adult, with the will to express yourself, or not

I used to change mine to a male voice cause I hated having a woman’s voice telling me what to do. I live in that world. I don’t need my technology doing it to me also...
