Default Re: Men Talk as Much as Women?

This is one reason why it's a mistake to go gaga over every new study that comes out and take it as if it were definitive or proved much. Studies are a dime a dozen.

I've read plenty of stuff saying that women are more verbally-oriented than men, that this is reflected in their interactions in the working world, that this is a big part of what makes them better at conflict resolution as peace officers, that their SAT scores and high school grades tend to reflect that, etc.

Somebody's gotta be wrong here somewhere. What you pick as most likely true might well have to do with any biases you already have anyway.
