At risk of sounding stereotypical here, it does seem like women gab a whole lot more than men do. But according to a recent study, POWERFUL men talk more than powerful women do. Ah.
Here's the latest, brought to you in the Administrative Science Quarterly by Yale faculty member Victoria L. Brescoll:
--In a study of United States senators, more powerful male senators talked a lot more than less powerful male senators. But powerful female senators did not talk more than less powerful female senators. What gives?
--An analysis of a similar experiment suggested that powerful women hesitated to talk more out of fear that they would be seen as less likable, "out of line," domineering and too controlling, and that they would lose power and be less effective. Was this study taken in the 1950s or what?
--In a third study, talkative male CEO candidates were rated as more suitable for leadership than less talkative ones, but quieter female candidates were rated more highly. Ladies, it seems like we still have a way to go toward that glass ceiling -- even in Congress!

Both genders natter, but the content is quite different from each other.
Also, there's a few Trans or Inter-sexuals out there too.
I find men to waggle their chins just as much in conversation with one another as women do. I even find some at my work starting up a conversation with me rather than the other way around.
Stereotypes: don't fall for them.
Yeah I don't agree with her.... She has no problem throwing around stereotypes about males and saying they're true, where as when she encounters ones about females she says they're completely untrue, which is just completely sexist. Yes I am aware of morality being completely different, but it still doesn't excuse the fact she's so quick to put down men and yet defend her own gender.... Why don't you let her fight her own battles? If she hadn't responded to me comment, I probably would have dropped it and never brought it up again.
No one but yourself is making you reply.
