| Women talk three times as much as men, says study |
| 2006-11-28 |
| It is something one half of the population has long suspected - and the other half always vocally denied. Women really do talk more than men. In fact, women talk almost three times as much as men, with the average woman chalking up 20,000 words in a day - 13,000 more than the average man. Women also speak more quickly, devote more brainpower to chit-chat - and actually get a buzz out of hearing their own voices, a new book suggests. The book - written by a female psychiatrist - says that inherent differences between the male and female brain explain why women are naturally more talkative than men. In The Female Mind, Dr Luan Brizendine says women devote more brain cells to talking than men. And, if that wasn't enough, the simple act of talking triggers a flood of brain chemicals which give women a rush similar to that felt by heroin addicts when they get a high. Dr Brizendine, a self-proclaimed feminist, says the differences can be traced back to the womb, where the sex hormone testosterone moulds the developing male brain. The areas responsible for communication, emotion and memory are all pared back the unborn baby boy. The result is that boys - and men - chat less than their female counterparts and struggle to express their emotions to the same extent. |

| #21 You guys realize that Brizendine is a man-hating lesbian feminazi, whose end goal is to "show" that testosterone shrivels men's listening centers, making them impervious to logic, indelibly bigoted, and generally drooling, barely trainable apes, right? And yet we STILL supposedly keep women down. What's that say about her opinion of women? |

| #19 Four lips, Zenster? If my twat could talk, I think it would say, "suck my balls." ;) But ... but ... Quadralabial endowment is one of the things that truly differentiates females from males. Women are able to piss and moan at the same time. |

| #16 You're in trouble, .com! The Harvard Faculty will descend upon you in unholy glee. OH? You don't work for Harvard? What's that got to do with it? You've muttered the unmutterable - that men and women are really, truly DIFFERENT, and it's not just a 'sex' thing. Stand by for someone to be crucified for defying the unspoken demand of the feminazis. |

| #11 I've mentioned this before - a (sadly, now ex-) was deaf and mute. The perfect woman, BUT - She "talked" all the time. I think the beginning of the end was when I asked her "don't your hands ever get tired?" Nothing quite so funny as a signing person yelling at you "LISTEN TO ME!!!!" |

| #4 The nature vs. nurture advocates are fighting each other again. I used to think my mother talked a lot to me, but after I scored 780 out of 800 possible on the verbal SAT, I figgered out there might have been some point to it after all... |
