 Some recent research into conversation between men and women has produced results 
which will surprise few women. Men are always interrupting women when they talk. One 
researcher feels that men regard female talk as a kind of conservational housework. They expect 
women to play a supporting role. So a man interrupts in a display of dominance or control. Men 
also have a much more unpleasant listening style. Whereas a woman uses gestures or says “mm”, a 
man will say such things as “right” or “okay” thus setting the stage for an interruption. 
Conversation of this kind is, then, hardly meaningful communication. Male talk is often 
argumentative while women are more tentative, asking more questions and tending to build up their 
replies on what the other person has said. The research would indicate that women are better 
listeners than men. Yet, listening secretly to conversations between groups of women, one has the 
impression of several simultaneous into which no man would be able to get a chance to speak. 
1. According to the writer, men feel that women’s conversation is only a support to their own.
2. The conversation between men and women is not meaningful communication because men do 
not really listen to what women are saying.
3. The research shows that females are better at listening than males.
4. Men ask more questions and build up their replies on other people’s responses.
5. The writer says that when women talk together, they seem to talk at the same time.
