Language and gender

Dedicated studies on this subject reveals that there a number of differences in male and female speech in both verbal and written communication around the globe. For instance, some language families have masculine and feminine genders for every single noun, others have no grammatical genders at all. It also differs the society we live. What I mean by that whether you live in Europe or in Asia, even the regions have different method of speaking and attitudes. In western world woman and man always considered even, in terms of both freedom of speech and work position. But in eastern world this rules changes, due to the factors of the Islamic religion. In most public cases male considered upper hand and female is a step behind. But this gap is slowly shrinking and women catching up men in every field. To put into prospective there are many forces at play that all have an impact on gender equality. What is suggested in some studies is that perhaps languages are one of those force and that maybe gendered languages have an impact on what we think and how we feel. In terms of gender equality, perhaps gendered languages have a role in shaping how young girls and women perceive their educational, economic, and professional opportunities, and how they perceive their political position on the world stage.

Let’s put this gender equality aside and try focus on other distinctive characters. For instance, in conversation, women typically try to make connections while males approach conversation as a contest.  Not surprising then, males typically tell stories involving competition, contests, and that are aggressive in nature.  Males use male protagonists exclusively and their protagonist acts alone.  Females write about community, relationships, social norms, and responding to the needs of others. Furthermore I can add that women are good at gossiping, which is undeniable fact :)
