Women are More Polite to Alexa and Siri Than Men

It’s just a machine, but many humans still want to be courteous to their virtual voice assistant and it turns out women are more polite when making requests than men. Almost two-thirds of women have said “please” to their smart speakers. Some say a human being shouldn’t feel obligated to express gratitude to a plastic speaker while others believe it helps us to be more polite within our own families, households and work environments.
