In conclusion: The fact that women are more talkative than men cannot be explained by arguments that focus single-mindedly on the social habits of early, pre-civilized man. Case in point: You might also argue—(I am not)—that modern man, as the bread winner, went out into the world in a more social, language-taxing role than his poor wife who stayed at home looking after the kids and scrubbing the floors with little adult contact.
Ah yes, Hydra, it is good that you do not argue that "modern man, as the bread winner, went out into the world in a more social, language-taxing role than his poor wife who stayed at home looking after the kids and scrubbing the floors with little adult contact." because man is a highly social animal who for most of his divergence lived in noisy clans and tribes where the only way to raise children without lots and lots of language was to tie them to trees.
Yours and Rose's conclusion is poorly thought out and seems to be a sad manipulation of reality in order to be politically correct.
Of course, like the current disregard of factual information about impending Global Warming, facts won't change a thing. True believers believe because they need to believe and reality can go take a hike.
Ah yes, the sky is falling. And to say that makes me feel in-vogue and smart.
