Do you agree that men and women use language differently? In what areas?
While being at risk of sounding very non-PC, I would agree with the above statement when used generally. It is no secret that the majority of men and women rationalize their experiences in completely different ways. With that said, if communication is based off of one's rationale, then it would be easy to correlate a difference in the use of language along with a difference in rationality. Now this is not to say that I believe EVERY man and EVERY woman uses language in a way completely different from each other..on the contrary, many men and women purposefully use language geared toward the other sex to get their message across. I would feel comfortable stating, however, that when it comes to communication of personal emotions there is a HUGE difference in how both men and women use language to convey this to each other. Things that are more private in nature there seems to be a great difference in language usage, while those aspects of public life almost seem to have a set language associated with them.
