Interesting side point - they didn't let any women voice the parts on this cd, as opposed to the first 3 ("Who spilled the milk on the kitchen floor?")

Are you sure they're women, chavamom? We know a boy who's a "girl" on one of the tapes.

Yes, I know for sure one woman (the part she quoted) and can't remember the rest.

That's just silly!

(Another side point: Oorah features pictures of women and girls in their auction booklet. A few years ago, they put out an advertisement saying that if there were enough people interested in a auction book with no pictures of women they would print one. AFAIK, they never printed that booklet and they never made that offer again.)

Merelyme: Two of the mothers in the earlier Marvelous Middos Machines were Sara Rotenberg and Sharon Yess. The girls were for the most part Abie's daughters.

Right.

And look how "far" we've come in 20 years - that it's assumed it COULDN"T have been women on those cd's. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

I don't think that's true. They have women listed on the cover.

On the new CD, there is one mommy, "Mrs. Tenzerovitch", and she is played by a male. In the previous CDs, 25 years ago, the mommies were played by..... women (gasp!). In the new cd, there are no little girl parts in the songs, whereas there were definitely girl parts in the old songs. I can hum through the songs today and give you specific lines if you don't believe me Very Happy

I'm going to check when I get home, if I remember. I definitely recall reading womens' names put to voices.
Or maybe just girls? There definitely are girls. The ones who need "pashuns" (that's how my 6 yo thought to spell it after hearing the song LOL

)

There aren't any women on it. They scrambled boys voices.

There ARE 2 girls on the cd with talking parts. There is also one "mommy" in the entire cd and it is played by a male. All other scenes involve fathers and sons.

Contrast to 25 years ago where a) little girls had talking and singing parts b) there were many mommies, and c) those mommies were played by real females

Since you quoted my post, I take it that this comment refers to me.

In response, I will state that I made no assumptions. I asked a question, based on the information I have (that one boy we know played a girl on a tape).
