In Politics, women in particular talking fast and non stop

Girls aim to please more than boys do and are not only more talkative ( you’ve only got to listen to a few little girls together)
😄 whereas a small group of little boys are more action led, crashing toy cars together and so on.

Thats right, Allira. Violet Elizabeth Bott

I've got a whole set of them collected by my first husbands' Dad, printed between 1926 to about 1940.

They are still laugh out loud.

Male and female presenters on TV and Radio shows can both talk till the cows come home. Saturday morning SOT on R2 is particularly annoying to me. Bob Harris drives me spare. "Just play the music, I beg...

And turn to the Radio channel that just gives the 70's music with some ads.

That's an anecdote, David49!! Not valid research.

Speaking anecdotally, I have found that baby girls tend to start talking earlier than boys but could that be because girls actually listen to what is being said to them then can repeat it?

I think it’s true that women are naturally more verbal than men.
That doesn’t mean that certain men can’t rabbit on but women are more chatty.

Women in general much more verbal than men, I have a cousin that talks non stop, not even a pause to breathe. For a politician the ability to talk for at least 10 mins without answering any question is pretty much essential whatever sex they are

😂

A young man came to give a quote for some work we need doing outside. DH was out but DD was here and this young man talked over the top of us, dismissed our valid questions and generally treated us like a pair of idiots.
He talked at us, not to us.

Needless to say, we have ignored is extortionate quote.

Thats simply totally not true.

Men can rabbit on about footie or cricket or snooker for ever and ever till you are ready, as a character in 'Just Henry books said, "scweam and scweam". Quit the mansplaining.

William not Henry 😀
It was Violet Elizabeth Bott.

I haven’t thought of it as putting women down. It probably happens partly because women are more fluent talkers than men.😄

I find it fascinating to watch the dynamic between political journalists and MPs. It’s like a fencing match, attack and parry, with the odd touché. Some of the journalists grate on me as much as certain politicians. I suspect if you did a straw poll we would all say it is different people who push our buttons.

I do agree....

..... because whatever trigger there was for the frustration in the O/P 's remark - a particular politician - its far more complex.

There was a discussion on R4 Question time a while back. Frankly, the two men were totally outmatched by Polly Toynbee at her best - a fairly long, very coherent contribution, covering what others had said into a very sensible statement, made with some but not OTT passion.

Beat the others hands down, frankly.

Women putting down other women in this way is depressing.

Isn't it just- and Labour women in particular it seems...

Women putting down other women in this way is depressing.

I think women are more likely than men to do it through nerves. Anxious not to lose the thread of what they’re saying by allowing anyone else in until they’ve finished

I watched an interview with Richard Tice today. He talked over the woman trying to ask questions and get a coherent answer from him instead of the rubbish he was spouting.

He was a good example of being rude and self opinionated.

I don’t think this is confined to just Labour or female politicians.

It the majority of politicians modus operandi in order to get out of answering the question they are asked, they just give a garbled answer they have rehearsed over and over again, which normally has no connection with the topic being asked about.
