One of my favorite subject matters when it comes to communication in romantic relationships is genderlect styles. Genderlect styles is the conversations between men and women that can be described in part as that which often emotionally leaves men thinking and or saying women or drama and women about men that they can't understand them. The book Men Are from Mars Women Are from Venus by John Gray published 10 years ago in 1992, was the beginning of dating and married men and women starting to be taken notice by the public at large that there is a real difference in the direction of communication between the sexes.
John Gray's work borrows from another great author named Deborah Tannen in which all who study romantic relationships know as Deborah often refers to the gender speak between the two as being a cross cultural communication. In my newsletters and lectures, I borrow in part from both authors in addition to newly taught theories, scientific facts about neurology as yet even more cross reference that includes religious values, work environment and more as to why and how men and women think, act and react differently to various encounters in their daily communication with one another.
The upcoming articles will be a series on genderlect styles. In the series, readers will begin to learn why there is similar miscommunication that occurs all the time between men and women. Readers will begin to realize that all men and women generally miss the deeply rooted issues involved with cross-cultural encounters with men and women. Even nations where women and men are separated from each other as a rule of preserving man and womanhood via cultural and or religious values, there are genderlect styles each sex is conditioned by in communication with each other during quiet private moments during what communication specialist deem, integration and separation. (Refer to a previous article in my relational dialectic series called, Integration and Separation for a glimpse of the matter.)
I do not, as with my last series on relational dialectic, go into depth about the subject matter of genderlect styles enough for a total personal reflection or ability to write an essay from any of the articles. This would call for your own study and or further investigation into programs I have designed. Instead the aim of all of the articles are to help readers begin to realize that there is a real communication difference between the sexes that is not just altered by mass media and broadcast, but a state of consciousness that is altered by it. Most important, the articles are for both men and women to start learning more about the natural process of communication between the sexes that is real for all men and women defined as gender-speak and genderlect styles.
