Gender and Language

I find it far more easy to express my opinions with women than I do with men. Women are more understanding and less judgmental. That is the perfect atmosphere with which to share one's feelings. Women exhibit a lot of emotion when they speak. They use varied intonations and a ton of facial expressions! I've noticed that I tend to have no emotion on my face when I speak. I think that's a defense mechanism that I use to protect myself from the critical comments of others. I learned that technique in middle school to avoid being picked on. In general, men keep their emotions to themselves and don't allow others to know how they're feeling.
