Name Calling.

This is an interesting article, but again, I take issue with the whole 'Biological differences. That's why,' overarching theme.

That's a guest article written by a counseler / therapist who is also the author of that goddamn abysmal piece of trash 'Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus' positing that men and women are so different they require a book to figure shit out. Sorry, that doesn't pan out at all as a citation.

Finding citations is not as easy as typing 'Women talk more than men science' into a google search bar. Thankfully, we live in an era of information while - It is EASY to find articles that seem to agree with your feelings and biases, can also be just as easily refuted with research.

Yeah. your example isn't a citation.

That's not a citation. That's a contradictive assumption you are pulling from... not this site? Or any of the citations I've made? Out of thin air, I think?

Also, citations or you are just going off on your personal experience and hurt feelings in order to delegitimize what a person who owns a vagina says because, y'know, she just can't stop talking!

There was a really good article released about this actually - http://www.newrepublic.com/article/117757…

I have. And people consider me an exceptionally loud woman, because I have to yell in order to get my point across. The dudes, however, not so exceptionally loud. I will also cut men off if they interrupt a female colleague at the table so that she can continue her train of thought.

And if you aren't listening, men are doing their damndest to make sure that you listen by A) raising their voices B) changing the topic of conversation C) Dominating said conversation and D) Interrupting you at every given chance.

Also: Janelle Monae is the best concert I've ever gone to. Period. She punched out two encores, had enough energy to punch through the moon, and body surfed twice across the crowd (The first time, the crowd put her down because they desperately wanted to dance with her. She hopped back onto stage and jumped right back…

I want that sorority shirt.

Clarence Thomas sexually harassed a woman and lied under oath about it ever happening. Not even Clorox and steel wool can pull that stain.
