Essays on Men

There are several studies that have been conducted to analyse women’s and men’s speech across various cultural identities. The main goal of the studies has been to find out whether there is a difference in the way men and women speak. Speech behaviour of both genders can be analysed in respect to language usage, phonology, verbal choice and the general interactions between men and women in discourse.

Conventionally, most of the sociolinguists look at the issue of gender in discourse in connection with the level of education, ethnic background, socio-economic status and the age of the individuals involved. Most of the researches that have been conducted have shown that the difference in language mainly result from the perception that men dominate women and that the speech behaviour of the women is as a result of a deviation from the male speech norms (Fasold, 2000). According to some scholars, the male-female communication is cross-cultural and in most cases people from different genders often depicts different speech norms and usually have different expectations for their respective interlocutors.

“Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.” Males and females have as much in common as night and day, ranging from their physical anatomy to their preferences in hobbies.

Half a century ago, every American man was being entitled to what Sociologist RW Connell refers to as a “patriarchal dividend”, which was a lifelong affirmative-action program for men.

The legend that queer history takes place in year 1969 sees a diversity of practices. The ridiculous, traditional form is that queer societies didn't occur back beforehand the '60s ruined our morals.

The feminism that exists today also sensitizes men about several issues and is accommodative of them.
