Question

Tannen wrote this essay in 1993. is it outdated, or is it even more relevant today? consider her thesis in light of other cultures or ethnicities or time periods. in a country where women's choices in dress are restricted by social mores, for example, is tannen's claim applicable?

Answer 1

I think this essay is very relatable today and I agree with all that she said. Women have no standard set. Every style, every mannerism, every article of chlothing or accessory is unique and gives off clues about what a women is like. This is less applicable in other areas where there is a rgimen that women must follow since they can not express themselves materialisticaly.
