Me talk guyspeak someday
Posted by Diane Danielson at 10:36 AM

Interesting article yesterday in the Houston Chronicle about the communication gap between genders.

Imagine a typical meeting. A problem has come up with, say, the making of a new type of paper cup, and the team has to get together to fix it.

The problem is described, and discussion begins about cost, efficiency, sales and the like.

Finally, one of the women in the room brings up other concerns — environmental pitfalls, consumer preferences and cultural issues.

The men stare. What is she talking about? What does the environment have to do with the cost per cup?
