I agree that men and women communicate differently than each other in certain areas and contexts. A lot of men like to show their toughness and usually speaks in a way that shows this. This often involves not really expressing emotion in a healthy manner in many cases. I've read about this phenomena as being called the "cowboy syndrome". Emotions are bottled up and sometimes come out in violent or awkward ways. This is usually in interpersonal or intimate relationships. In a work or school setting, I think there are a lot fewer differences in the way each gender communicates.
As far as female communication goes in an interpersonal or intimate setting, females simply communicate based on emotion. They are able to communicate their emotions very effectively and this could be a negative or positive thing. Many times it is easier to understand how a female feels because of explicit expression. Other times they may be a little too expressive and this could be a negative aspect. In summarizing I think there is a big difference in the way females and males communicate.

I 100% agree with this entry because i grew up in Los Angeles where at least 95% of males thought they were the toughest of the tough. Because some areas of Los Angeles are tough you need to learn how to become tough just to learn how to protect yourself. They join gangs or do whatever it is that they do to learn how to protect themselves. But the women dont need to join the gang life. They are very sweet and dont have to do a lot to get their way like most males. So their is differences on how men and women communicate. Men pretend that they dont have any feelings and emotions, while women its ok for them to express this. Thats why there is a difference between men and women.
