Examples
Gender and Communication- A women might say, "I understand. My partner never remembers my birthday!"
Online Social Support- Reddit has been criticized for allowing users to post racist, sexist and homophobic jokes and comments anonymously.
Comforting Response- It's typically hurtful rather than helpful to say "There are people worse off than you are." This can be frustrating to hear because people don't really know what the other person is going through.
Curiosity Questions
It surprised me that they mentioned online social support can actually have a good impact on a person rather than a bad impact. Before social media got bigger than it is today, having online friends or an online support system was considered dangerous and atypical. This was due to the fact that we did not know the person over the screen, but now, it has been socially accepted to have online friends because social media is now the number one way of communication.
What intrigued me most was the textbook's description of types of supportive responses. All the different types of responses stated were accurate to me and are in fact what I use regularly to respond to my own friends.
I wanted to learn more about gender and communication and how much that affects our communication on a day to day basis.
Experiences
What I use most for supportive responses would be questions. There had been countless of times where my friends come to me with dilemmas and I just ask them questions to ensure they can understand the situation especially if it involves another person so they can see both point of views and not just their own.
I have had a few experiences with gender communication. For instance, when my boyfriend can be hard to read sometimes, I will go to my girl friends for advice because it's easier for them to see where I'm coming from since they've been through it before. If I were to ask my guy friends, they will tend to be bias.
