Language and Gender.
Dominance Approach
Zimmerman and West
In 11 conversations between men and women, men used 46 interruptions, but women only two.
They believed since men interrupt more often, then they are dominating.
Recordings were white, middle class and under 35.

Beattie found that women and men interrupted with more or less equal frequency - so men did interrupt more, but by a margin so slight as not to be statistically significant.

Men discuss ‘male’ topics e.g. business, sports.
Women are more likely to initiate conversation than men, but less likely to make the conversation succeed

“Men pursue a style of interaction based on power, while women pursue a style based on solidarity and support.”

Diversity Approach
Judith Butler
gender is not a binary concept, but non-binary: a spectrum for a lack of a better word.
What is gender?
‘Either of the two sexes (male and female), especially when considered with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones. The term is also used more broadly to denote a range of identities that do not correspond to established ideas of male and female’.
