Differences Between Men and Women (1)

The discussion was about the difference between the ways women and men punish others when the person displeases them. For women the most punishing and effective action is to stop speaking to the offender-and to tell others that is what you are doing. Men never use this tool on each other.

K confirmed that if she finds another woman is not speaking to her it is crushing -- and she immediately begins to worry about what she has done to trigger the action.

J tells about the time that she was angry with her boyfriend and after a long session of verbal abuse ended it with the statement that she was just not going to speak to him anymore.

The difference between the sexes is shown by his reply

"And that is supposed to be punishment?"
