It might seem at first surprising that when I studied women and men talking at work, I found that women 'interrupted' each other more often than men did - when they were in all-women conversations.

Often, the disparities in the ways men and women are treated are subtle; there are not these clear barriers that you have to break down.

All women's issues are to some degree men's issues and all men's issues are to some degree women's issues because when either sex wins unilaterally both sexes lose.

We are still living with a double standard. I know it. Every woman I know knows it, whether you're in the media as a woman, or you're in the professions or business or politics.

Women are obviously much more discriminated against than men in many ways.

Men tend to try to struggle to be more rational and reduce things to simplicity more and are more impatient with ambiguity than women are.

Researchers have found very little difference between men and women in terms of the amount of time spent gossiping.

As societies continue to loosen their standards regarding what is appropriate female and male behavior, I think we are going to realize we have not only underestimated women, but also men.

What I find is with all due deference to - deference to our male colleagues, that women's styles tend to be more collaborative.
