Research I have collected shows that women use the same dialect as men across social media and in conversations. Romaine states in her book Community Gender that women use tagged questions to be reassured about a statement, and men also use tagged questions in discussions and on social media. Women are not the only gender who often use emphasis to describe an object. Men correspondingly use adjectives to describe how they feel about clothing or certain situations. Being polite is not a characteristic that only women possess, but it is the way a person is educated that determines his kindness. Men and women communicate the same way and there is no difference in gender communication. Romaine's article states that women use tag questions more than men to feel reassured during a conversation with another person. The example he uses is: “It's a nice picture, isn't it” (Page 154). Both men and women use this statement. Men are just as likely to use a statement like this, but in different contexts such as "Isn't that Liverpool shirt really nice?" The statement is exactly the same as Romaine's example, but just in a different context. During a conversation with my father last weekend he said: “Real Madrid will have a new stadium. Really nice, don't you think?" My dad just wanted to make sure he wasn't the only person who thought the new stadium was architecturally modern and not a waste of money. My sister Kara was getting ready to go out with her boyfriend and asked : “These shoes match my skirt, right?” Kara wanted to make sure everything was okay, just like my father and his comment. Men like to be reassured in certain situations, just like women they talk more about sports and women talk more...... middle of paper......tion. Today the media and television portray that women who swear tend not to be considered ladylike that when men swear they are just boys acting like boys. Politeness is not something that one gender favors, but something that both genders participate in. Women and men speak the same but their choice of words is different. Asking a tag question for reassurance is the sense of comfort that everyone likes to have in our judgmental society today. Emphasis is not something that only some people do. If you're passionate about something in particular, there will be a lot of tone. Good manners are demonstrated by both sexes and neither is more courteous than the other, but it depends on how a child is cared for. Women and men speak very similarly and there is no difference.
