Here are some interesting things i’ve learned about women in my lingusitics class so far: 1.) women apologize more than men bc they perceive more offenses than men 2.) women use more filler words to “hold the floor” and not get interrupted CONT.

3.) the dislike for vocal fry, higher pitched voices, etc is rooted in misogyny. if you’re one of those people that thinks girls that use vocal fry are dumb, think about why. 4.) feminine speech has become the norm among men AND women in offices and positions of authority because it’s able to soften the blow when being more assertive 5.) women are more likely to use tag in questions (isn’t it? don’t you think? etc) to accommodate men in conversations
