Women Talk Ttoo Mmuch
Are there sex variances between males and females in dialogue? This question has been
debated upon for a long time., For example, Janet Holmes brings up this question at the
beginning of her article Wwomen Ttalk TtooM much with the use of sayings from different
cultures in order to reveal that such thought is based on assumption by stereotypes. In Women
Talk Too Muchher article, Holmes listed illustrations, facts and various researches to explain in
what context which gender will dialogue more than another. InAt the end of the article, Holmes
explained which gender would talks more depends on the context; this is because there are a
variety of factors that affect the conclusion. The purpose of this assignment is toThe evaluatione
of the article and whetherproves that it is not persuasive or not. From my perspective, Holmes
has strong organizational abilities in arranging her ideas. However, Holmes fails to make an
explicit thesis while providing supporting examples. These two facts cause the Women Talk Too
Much not being persuasive.
In my perspective, Holmes failed to make a clear thesis of Women Talk Too Much. Her
purpose should provide a conclusion about which gender talk more, although her conclusion is it
depends on the context. On the contrary, Holmes states: Do women dominate the talking time?
Do men struggle to get a word in edgewise, as the stereotype suggest? (Holmes 300). At the
cConclusion Ssection, Holmes states: The answer is, it all depends on. (Holmes 304)
However, Holmes is good at organization and vocabulary choosing. She arranged the article into
several subtitles to with the aim of making it more logical. Janet Holmes used a variety of
objectives and optimistic words to express her point of view while providing a positive
impression on her audience. Based on this point, her claims are not convincing.

Holmes gives a lot of examples, research and facts with the aim of proving which gender
talk more. Unfortunately, Holmes fails to verify the reliability of her examples. For instance, she
illustrated a research conducted by two researchersscientists in New Zealand, which revealed
men frequently dominate the talking time. This research is real and relevant, and the conclusion
was based on the research results. The researchinvestigation was based on a female host, that
interviews well-know people. The research revealed that male guest would dialogue most
compared to their female counterparts (Holmes 300). However, this researchstudy is not reliable.
This is because; Holmes did not provide explicit instruction for the research method used to
bring about these findings. How does it work? How many TV shows were used to come up with
the research material? What is the number of male and female guests? What is the average
timeline for every man and woman that talked in the show? And why they made the conclusion
that men dominated the talking time? The information presented by Holmes is not sufficient and
detailed enough. Holmes only gave a summary and conclusion of the research. An article begins
with a question, which gender should talk more, and ends with a conclusion. That is why it made
the supporting information unreliable and insufficient.
Holmes pays too much attention in attracting readers attention instead of making explicit
claims that are convincing. The title is creative, but the claims are not as fascinating as title. The
title has the ability to make the audience curious as to why women talk too much and what the
fact is: it is Holmes intention, to discuss in a variety of context and topics, which gender would
talk more. HolmesThe author also makes an explicit topic sentence for every category and
provides evidence for every context, to make the article more logic and clear. She separated her
ideas into different sections. Holmes discussed the difference in performance within male and
females in different context, with the hope the objectives and factors would affect the conclusion
of the article. However, Holmes failed to make a clear thesis for whole article. Although she

Surname 3
made an explicit title for each section, but failed to make a clear thesis. At the introduction and
the preceding paragraph, Holmes comes up with a question: which gender should talk more? As
the author of this article, Holmes composed a clear thesis to express her ideas while leading her
readers and answer the question at the end. In the contrast, Holmes gives a vague answer it all
depends; (Holmes 304). This statement should be addressed in the introduction; however, the
thesis of this article makes it difficult to define which gender talks more, which should depend on
the context whereby Holmes addresses it in the conclusion of the article. This means Holmesshe
did not provide explicit instructions of how the article would discuss the title and the topic in the
previous paragraph. Although Holmes listed the body paragraph topic as subtitle in order to
guide the audience and be able to read and understand the article logically, she failed to compose
a good thesis. The writerHolmes accurate use of vocabulary successfully bridged the gap
between the author and audiences.
The organization is the attractive and convincing part of this article. The article only lacks
instruction on how to read it logically and clearly for audience the reader to fully understand.
Holmes listed several subtitles that helped develop the article: The Evidence (Holmes 300),
Social Confidence (Holmes 302), Perceptions and Implications (Holmes 303). The previous
paragraph discusses the stereotype of women talking too much, then lists the evidence category
proving generally men dominate the talking time,; then comes up to explain and discuss the
purpose of talking., next It is also the related purpose with social confidence while considering
its relationship with social identity; the last one is and how the perception and implication
influence the gender differences while they are talking. At the end, give a conclusion and a thesis
for the whole article are given. The subtitles lead audience to follow the Holmes logic to think
about the purpose and thesis, although the main thesis is put on the last paragraph.

After evaluation of Women Talk Too Much, Janet Holmes is an author who is good at
making her article serenade the audience and at the same time making it easy to understand.
Although her thesis is implicit, the organization, subtitles, and functions provide a perfect
thesisideas, covering the tiny weakness of the article. In addition, the reliability of evidence
should be further enhanced; with the aim of making the details more sufficient and convincing.
To sum up, Women Talk Too Much is not persuasive enough, although its organization is
practical as instructions to accepting the authors ideas. Further, there areexists too many
perceptions and stereotypes regarding this issue, and the author was not able to penetrate these
with a solid argument that can convince otherwise.
