To each one's own, really. I never had an issue with unclear reading from female narrators and even if that did happen it wouldn't bug me at all. So, different pet peeves for different people. My issue was her apparent acting/smugness in her tone of voice that got in the way of delivering the material. I raised this issue because the material is education-focused and so therefore I'd expect neutral delivery that doesn't get in the way of the audience's learning.

Nope, not procrastination. I've had no problem going through other courses from LS.

I think you're reading too much into my post - nowhere did I hint that it's great for men to speak in a certain way and for it to be not OK for women.

How did you even come up with that?
