Blog #9-"Women's place in Everyday Talk"

After reading this chapter I don't feel as though the similarities between a male/female conversation and also between a parent/child conversation is a negative "thing".

I think, if anything, that it is interesting to read the conversation, in the book, with the overlapping words from the males while speaking to females or when they interrupt the conversations because its a way of showing their dominance. I feel as though men think that they have to have the last say in something in order to be heard. I also think that when a women is having a conversation with a man and he interrupts her, she feels as though he is not listening to her.
