Genderlect, which was introduced by Deborah Tannen, is “a term suggesting that masculine and feminine styles of discourse are best viewed as two distinct cultural dialects.” According to Tannen, there is a clash of two cultures when men and women communicate. Women desire for human connection, while men desire for status. This leads to Tannen’s evidence that women value rapport talk, which seeks to establish connection with others, while men value report talk, which seeks to command attention, convey information, and win arguments. Tannen then breaks up the two cultures into five different sections: 1. Private Speaking vs Public Speaking, 2. Telling a Story, 3. Listening, 4. Asking Questions, 5. Conflict. In this cartoon, the women is talking to the man and asking him ridiculous questions about his day, which he answers concisely. She then goes on to conclude that Jeremy does not listen to her anymore, which is not completely true.
