    Pop culture imitating old military "bitchin' betty" (prerecorded alert lines) systems which used a female voice because of the (later disproven) idea that in an emergency situation a woman's voice would be easier to hear clearly because of the higher pitch. People have grown up with that being the pop culture standard, so they perpetuate it themselves.
