The input is great and interesting. A lot of common traits were pointed out and I saw it in my every day life. However, I can't help to question who she studied: I've seen a video regarding this book and the samples of communication shown were all of what seemed to be middle-class, white relationships. Not only that, but even though I've seen patterns in my life that support Tannen, I also see examples that deny it.

I do still love this book and her take on gender and communication; I just advise those who take her words to heart to always remember there are EXCEPTIONS. Forever and always.
