The differences between communication between men and women is quite complex. It has to do with society and lingusitics. A lot of women are taught to use affirmative speech, which is the overt expression of emotion and everything that has to do with the maintence of social relations. While men are influenced to use instrumental speech which is used to convey information, trying to establisj "facts" or get things accomplished. There are so many studies going on and whole fields of research dedicated to studying and breaking down how gender and language are related and influenced by each other, and also how society plays a role at fostering these differences. Not all men and not all women fall into the "normal" categories or definitions.
