What language barrier?

It is a truism that men and women do not communicate in the same way. But is there really any evidence to support this Mars-and-Venus theory? Oxford language professor Deborah Cameron investigates in the first of three extracts from her new book

Speak up, I can't hear you
http://www.guardian.co.uk/gender/story/0,,2181602,00.html
Can it really be true that men and women understand language in different ways? Nonsense, says Deborah Cameron in this second extract from her new book - the supposed miscommunication is a myth.

Back down to Earth

Why, when men and women are more equal than ever, is the myth about the sexes coming from different planets so popular? Deborah Cameron, in the third of three extracts from her new book, argues that the 'Martians' and 'Venusians' are more similar than they think

It makes me think. I've accepted that women are more verbal, but you're right. There's research out there that doesn't support it. But maybe there are also cultural pressures on men and women to react in different ways too. Like here in America, men are supposed to be action oriented, and probably that's an old view in many different cultures.

one more thing is how we percieve things like this -- if we think women are more talkative than men we will believe that. what doesn't fit in there we just leave out of our attention.

Yes, I know that one -- it has to fit in the paradigm or we ignore it. Like we do with lots of things.
