No there was actual research back in the pre-Star Trek days (imagine) that had male pilots listening to female voices more. Of course that was way back then when relations between men and women were much different. Now I think the simulated voicess are all metrosexual. ;-)
I suppose it makes sense that in a male-dominated setting, there would be less chance of missing the recorded warnings if a female warning voice was used. Which works in either setting, airliner cockpits or 1960s sci-fi.
