I love women. Truly, I do, especially their womanliness.
But if I never hear another female voice on radio or television for as long as I live, apart from singing something sweet, I will die a happy man. Sometime in the last ten years women began to take over the media, and now their voices are completely dominant. BBC is the worst offender. And please get the little lady out of my GPS.
Anyone who has spent time in a normal family with children, or even around normal families with children, knows that children respond to their father's voice much differently than they respond to the voice of their mother. This is true from the earliest weeks of life outside the womb. The father's voice carries authority and gravitas, inspires trust, demands respect.
Advertisers and the news media have long found this to be true as well. Until feminism turned media executives into social engineers, male voices were long dominant when authoritative persuasion was the goal. It is known that women, even more than men, respond more positively to the authority of a male voice - particularly a deep male voice.
"For nearly every attribute they were asked to rate, participants were significantly more likely to prefer the deeper voice. The only category in which higher voices won? Most Likely to Be Involved in a Government Scandal. (This was, notably, the only negative attribute for which the researchers tested.)In the preface to their study, the researchers noted that the scientific evidence has often favored basses to tenors. Previous studies have found that both men and women find men with deeper voices more attractive and more dominant. And in eight U.S. presidential elections between 1960 and 2000, the candidate with the deeper voice has won the popular vote.In the current study, participants were also asked which version of the voice they would vote for, both in peacetime and wartime. The baritones were the winners. Voters should take this bias into account when they’re in the booth, the authors suggest."
Things started going downhill in this country when male singers started deliberately sounding like women. From Neil Sedaka to the Beach Boys to Michael Jackson, there's definitely something diabolical going on. In "The Passion of the Christ", the devil was portrayed as wickedly androgynous - a profound insight.

Can you predict the outcome of the election this year? Whose voice has the most gravitas - Obama, or Romney? I think it's pretty close to a toss-up, but due to Obama's smoker's voice, I give the edge to Obama.
Mormon Contemporary Issues
The divine role of woman is mother and wife, helper to the husband. Men are regarded as the head of the family, provider, leader, and teacher. Marriage is regarded as eternal, but divorce is permitted if necessary.
Ever think you might be cut out to be a Mormon?
As for your GPS there should be a setting in the tools section where you can select a mans voice, My Garmin unit has that option..
Not on your life. I like Mormons personally, but it's a false religion and totally unhistorical. Besides, they're hopelessly muddled on abortion, contraception, and divorce.

Free market capitalism at its most successful. Men sound more authoritative, women sound more helpful - in our culture, anyway. Consumers, through their purchasing power, have made it abundantly clear that they want their tools helping them, not bossing them around.
If you have a problem with that, I deeply question your dedication to the American free market system and, therefore, freedom, decency and God. The market has spoken. Freedom.
