How can we study gender through the lens of communication and communication through the lens of gender?


Men and women communicate differently, therefore the study of gender aids in understanding communication.
For example, women express their feelings, emotions and thoughts more freely than men. As previously studied in class, women communicate by incorporating their emotions into the conversation. Let's take a heterosexual couple, talking to their child about failing school. While a woman would be very emotional about the matter at hand, and tell the child how she feels, a man would simply say "you're grounded". Barely any emotions involve, short and to the point.
