i rather doubt that there's a significant difference between men and women, but if there is one, it is this: men are not ashamed to discourse freely on subjects they know nothing about; women are. men speak grandly about nothing, perfectly careless as to whether they're right or wrong, and women confine themselves to the feeblest nothings about which they seem to care a great deal, namely feelings, which can never be either right or wrong, and the result is the same in both cases: idle chatter.
