In the article”Who Does The Talking Here.” (2007),Deborah Tanner claims that it has been scientifically proven “that women and men talk equally”(2). Tanner goes on that it had been studied before by counting how many words were spoken a day by women and men. The study showed women spoke “on average 20,000 words a day, where men only spoke 7,000 words a day”(3). She then argues that in research she had done before, she came to conclusion that we can not measure who talks more by simply counting the words,but by what the conversation they are speaking about.
