Women's oral culture is gossiping. House talk, scandal, bitching, chatting. Women talk for the sake of it.
6 of 10
Lakoff
Women's language is weak. Tag questions, empty adjectives, no coarse language, super polite forms, indirect requests, no sense of humour.

Fishman
Women do the conversational shitwork. Mixed gender conversations don't work because of the lack of male responses, not because of any female speech features.

Spender
Language is man-made (humanity is called MANkind, sex is called penetrative sex when only men can penetrate).

Jesperson
Women's vocabulary is small so they know it well and can speak fluently. Women don't finish their sentences because they speak without thinking. Women are emotional, not grammatical.
