at the risk of sounding like a "troll" myself for this viewpoint, I agree with that statement(partially). This post is bringing up a legitmate point, not a thoughtless one. but at least(unlike a lot of other games) it does not directly attack your main play character(even if you are a male) however I point out Bereth does do a soul hit into you at the character creation dream setting that bothers me, stating "if you cross me I'm going to beat your soul up, just a friendly warning". However, I think this is also done to character regardless of background, or gender choice. even if you do not pledge directly to Berath. as for the narrator, gender doesn't matter(to me) but her voice sounds like a kid telling a story to her stuffed unicorn in bed , not a woman, I would have preferred a mature sounding voice for that, (whatever gender) but what is done is done and the narration is not overdone after the introduction character dream sequence. I think that bit is a bit overly narrated.
