Wow, that wind map is super cool. I could kinda gaze hypnotically at it all day. But what it tells me is that it's a rare quiet spring day for me, and I need to get outside and put some arrows in a target.
I know I get lots less respect as a teacher, but I'm up against the double, because most people don't respect women as musicians either. And to be honest, my chops aren't nearly what the SO's, for example, are. But I do a lot of encouraging young women to play. When I started guitar lessons, it was a huge freaking deal for me to be female and a guitarist.
And any way, at this point, I know I'm a good teacher, so screw 'em if they can't figure that out eventually.
Yay Tom!
Did you manage to avoid potatoes?
Whoo, codeine!!
So if it's all about a woman's voice, why is it that men get credit for saying things online that women say repeatedly without acknowledgement (or worse, a hostile response)? Does male typing have more "base"?
Men are just so much more...authoritative. It even comes across online!

4 is way too small a sample because what if the female "professors" SUCKED?
What you want is something like a real professor delivering the lecture behind a screen, hooked up with a voder like Laurie Anderson uses to pitch higher or lower vocal ranges so the students code the voice male or female or undetermined. Then you'd get some interesting results.

Gud, that must be it. Good thought!
I see what you did there, Gud.
