The Pavlovian view of women voters - 'plug the words in, and they will respond' - sends a chill down my spine because it sounds like an adaptation of something I have written about communication between the sexes: When a woman tells a man about a problem, she doesn't want him to fix it; she just wants him to listen and let her know he understands.

People vary. You change your style, your hair, and the way you dress. Talking differently will be a part of that.

If you talk to your friends the way your parents talk, they will think you are stiff and odd.
