Evaluate the idea that men are from Mars and women
are from Venus
...
However, this
assessment is not intended to be taken at face value; it merely illustrates that
men and women are different (so much so that they originate from different
planets entirely)
...
Badshah cites a study stating that men and women
were “80% identical in how they felt or behaved”, and goes on to suggest that
the remaining 20% is “not profound”
...
For example, Deborah
Tannen’s “Difference Model” highlights six stark contrasts in linguistic attitudes
between men and women, suggesting that they hold different belief systems
...
She argued that
men’s conversation is competitive, whereas women’s conversation is cooperative and supportive
...
A second difference Tannen cites is “Independence versus
Intimacy”

if the difference appears small at face value, the impact can certainly be
profound
...

the notion that men come from Mars and women come from Venus
...
On the other hand, linguist Deborah Cameron would
agree with the author of Text A, along with the researcher Krizan, and argue
that gender is not a defining factor regarding language, or other traits for that
matter
...
Thankfully, that gap is closing, yet the chasm is still open
