124 Chapter 7 Research shows that in the movies men talk the legs off women. Easily twice as many speaking minutes, more screen time too – unless the whole film is about a woman: than the man gets equal time and blathers on as much as the lead. Research shows that of all reports on radio, TV and in the press three-quarters address the world of men.

Language has wagged the child’s brain. With puberty it accelerates: the women disappear completely, everyone who’s smart has got a dick. Research shows: men interrupt women at least twice as much women men. And if a woman interrupts, she’s sure to have it pointed out: Honey, let me finish my sentence. Research shows: female professors score badly if they’re not warm and accessible. Research also shows that they score badly if they’re not strict and professional. Clearly we can conclude that female professors will never do well.
