I don’t need much. I want eat sweets without getting fat, I want to feel wanted and I want equal rights. Is it much to ask?

That sucks, I’m sorry. Interestingly, that perception of women talking more than men/talking too much is not necessarily accurate.

There’s been studies where conversations are monitored and the actual statistics are gathered on how much talking women are doing and how much talking men are doing. Statistically, men talked more. However, when the participants observed were asked afterward what they thought the results would be, they felt that women had talked more than men. For example, if women did 40% of the speaking (don’t recall the exact stat, don’t quote me on this part), participants still had the impression that women did like 60% of the talking (again, estimating the stat - definitely the majority of the time). As though women literally speaking less than men was still interpreted to be “too much.”

That crazy factoid suggests that society literally has a lower threshold for allowing women to speak than it does for men. WTF.
