This belief appears to be supported by both various scientific articles and societal norms. However, upon closer examination, many of these claims about gender differences in communication are based on faulty foundations. For instance, the notion that men exert power by interrupting women more often is based on a flawed understanding of interruption itself. When analysing examples of conversation, it becomes clear that overlapping speech does not necessarily indicate interruption. In some cases, speakers naturally start talking at the end of another person's sentence without interrupting them. Similarly, claims about women talking more than men or men dominating conversations have also been challenged by research. In reality, both men and women engage in a variety of speech patterns and behaviours, such as using tag questions, minimal responses, initiating topics, and overlapping each other. To truly understand how people communicate, we should not simply categorize them based on gender but by examining the specific context, entitlement, and stakes involved in a conversation. Furthermore, the assumption that all women and all men can be classified into two homogeneous groups perpetuates the idea of gender differences without fully studying or understanding them. In summary, it is important to approach the topic without assumptions, but to analyse specific instances by examining individual conversations in depth to gain meaningful insights, without relying solely on quantitative data or statistical significance where gender becomes relevant.
