Sexist but otherwise great way to learn words

Sexist! Great series, but in Chapter 222 Elster goes off on his assistant's "pulchritude" (what does it matter what she looks like) "melodic voice" and "cheeky" delivery of her suggestion (as always) to review if you missed more than eight words. Can you imagine if Elster had said this about a man (male voice)? He would have come across as gay. There's no discussion of Elster's physical appearance. Stuck to the script, the assistant cannot fight back. Please be aware of implicit sexism when you're listening to this or other seemingly benign, educational audiobooks. Nevertheless, I give this series five stars, although unless you're getting it for free, it's probably overpriced.
