Currently questioning my gender identity, which is new to me. (Yes, this can be quite a journey, I guess.)

These TikTok videos were quite ridiculous or even harmful and I also thought, "I don't want feminine energy for myself. I also don't want masculine energy. Just not interested in any of that."

Why do so many virtual assistants have higher-pitched, stereotypically female voices? National Geographic says that it's to do with a perception of subservience. "Users were more likely to attribute stereotypes like 'delicate' and 'empathetic' to female-coded voices, while male-coded voices sounded 'dominant,'" writes Erin Blakemore. And there's also the so-called "women-are-wonderful" effect. “In the end, what people look for is what increases engagement,” Naim Zirau, a former academic who now works as a senior AI engineer at IBM told Blakemore.

werden häufig untersucht.
Ergebnisse finden zu wenig Beachtung.
Es gibt Hypothese,dass die Pfluglandwirtschaft für Einzug des Hausfrauenberufs geführt hat.
Denn um Fertilität zu erhalten,musste Frau von der schweren körperlichen Arbeit (als sei Haushalt es nicht) geschützt werden.

A potential interesting finding is how that focus might be crowding out other issues pertaining to women.”
