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.

Yours and Rose's conclusion is poorly thought out and seems to be a sad manipulation of reality in order to be politically correct.





Actually, the point is a very uncontroversial, and, in fact, inevitable one. I guess you missed it.



Ok, Hydra, I'll try one last shot to free you from the socio-babble of the strange books you read...

(A) Human beings are a horse of a different color and if one seeks the truth one doesn't measure the amount of "parental time" given to little birds by their mother and dad birds and then declare that ratio a universal.

(B) Ten percent of males weigh less that the average of the females?
How interesting. The exception proves the rule, eh?

(C) In the manner that we humans are constituted it is the female who is central to the continuation of our kind. The body of the female is the portal for continuance. Men are mere appendages, nice to have around to fight wars and build stuff but the female with the small brain is the one who needs an accurate assessment of the immediate world around her in order to effect continuation for the breeding group's set of genes. So they talk. And talk. And talk.

And learn.
