For a Women’s magazine:

‘Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus’

Women are said to come from another planet. But is there a complete difference of language between men and women? Or has the male over powerful participation in a conversation changed the concept of women’s language as well as their place within society. It is said that men will try and come across higher and women just want support from society? Is that true or is it just a stereotypical view? As women we go through a lot of changes, with our bodies, emotions etc. So is it really fair to be judgementally viewed on our speech?

 

For a Men’s magazine:

‘Women are definitely from another planet- it’s all in the language.’

Women. Sometimes you love them, sometimes you hate them. The most difficult species to understand, women. They say that were all the same in the society, but is that really true after all this is a man’s world. Women’s language is very awkward. Us men we will tell a story and tell the information side of it, after all who cares about how I feel? But women, they will beat around the bush and talk about how they felt, as if that is going to make the story entertaining, Then they complain that were interrupting them because when they’re explaining a story all we hear is ‘umm’ and ‘ahh’  I’m sorry but us men, our attention span isn’t very long, we just can keep up.

 

Guardian readers:

‘Is there a difference between Male and Female language, or are we still stuck in the stereotypical history?’

Language and Gender theories aren’t new. It is something that has been researched over many years. There are a lot of concepts saying that women are emotional and men are a lot more hard faced. Now does that mean that men don’t cry? Those men do not show emotion? It is very controversial as there are many opinions to this situation.  Women would argue that men too are emotional or that women are not any more emotional than men to higher their status in society. But a lot of men in society will argue that they do not cry to try and remain high in society.
