When I switch my GPS to a female voice it just tells me I’m lost and that I must stop to ask for directions.

What makes feminazis think R2D2 is male?

That it proded a male connector to female port on the DeathStar in1977?

When I do that with mine, the female voice just keeps asking me why I don't take her any place nice ...

If a woman can’t be female, how can a droid be female?

I’ve asked my phone for the nearest Kroger (as I am in front of one) and she’s told me about some location 5 miles away.

I do believe that C-3PO, while voiced by a male, was intended to be deliberately androgynous; he is plainly based on metropolis’ android (gynoid?), which is plainly feminine. While it’s all fine and good to pick on the British accent for lacking manliness, there are certainly deliberately androgynous affectations added to Anthony Daniel’s speech pattern.
