Feminist Communication/Genderlect

Feminist communication and Genderlect communication theories are based upon very different premises, however they overlap and are comparable in a number of ways. To begin, Genderlect. This is greatly based upon how men and women communicate differently and why they do so. It states that the differences in the different gender communications are a cultural result as opposed to biological or something along those lines. This concept in some ways plays into the well known stereotypes about both sexes.

Feminist communication theory is centered around different things, yet still focuses on communication styles as a result of gender. Needless to say it is based around gender, communication and social change. It is a very broad topic based upon how women communicate and why. It is for the most part a result of things like personal life experiences, women’s history, various philosophies and things of that nature.

Both theories play into how things are communicated and whey people communicate this way. One of the greatest similarities I’ve noticed is that botch suggest communication styles are a strong result of cultural happenings. The feminist communication theory goes a little more in depth but neither point as strongly to biological differences as I would have expected.
