The most important and dangerous problem that people can do in terms of the topic of genders is to wonder what could be the differences between males and females. First, because it is something that as human beings we are unable to understand so that we cannot even explain it. Second, it has a negative connotation because it pushes ones (i.e. a male) to stereotype the other behavior (i.e. female) for making him/her feels better than the other. Pointing differences in that manner could develop a conflicting atmosphere between genders.
In the interpretation of relationship stated by Erving Goffman in the beginning of the 20th century, it is clearly explained that if a couple have a communication problem, whatever the problem could be, if they really want to solve their problem, they have to do as if there was none problem. Thus, considering a frustrated situation as if it was a normal one, could remarkably change the harmony of a relationship. Erving Goffman and many other researchers proposed a series of relevant studies that are actually factual evidences that support this thesis.
So let’s do the same about differences between genders. Let’s do as if we have never heard about this weird situation and every body will be happy!

I believe that different genders have a kind of generation in communications. Plenty of time, male cannot understand what does female mean so that they begin to argue. It is better try to make sense between two genders.
Hi,
I think that it´s good to know which are the differences in the use of language between men and women. This knowledge can be a great help in order to understand us much better.
hi
I think men and women have different ways for communication, that's why both of us are confusign all the time when we are talking with each other, and also that's why we have the mix-gender talking....the difference of language make men and women keep talking for million years~haha~that's really interesting~
