This may come as a surprise. At first, gender might seem irrelevant to language. However, researchers have repeatedly demonstrated a strong relationship between gender and how language is acquired, developed, and used.

In many societies, babies and toddlers spend more time with female caregivers, so early language is often initially mimicked from a female speaker.
