Women more articulate?

Do you think it is the male or the female and why?
I personally think women express better. From an early age (well at least in my experience) girls are talked to more often about general things in life than boys who usually went off to play.
Even now I find that women tend to express themselves more than men in all categories (except for sports and maybe politics).
What do you think?

No, I don't, because I'm not in favour of huge sweeping generalisations. I've met women who are grossly inarticulate and barely literate, and I can think of men (myself for one), who don't know the first damned thing about sports.
But that's just me. I think people are people, rather than lumping them into arbitrary categories.

I'd have to disagree with that. I think it's not gender specific. Each of us have our own points of views and definitely have different ways in we express our feelings and opinions. We have different experiences and we interact with different people. It may also well be the one who is being talked to or expressed to, he/she may have different opinion/s on how one expresses ideas.
I respect your opinion though. You might have met more women who express themselves more than men. I have more lady friends than men but I don't generally compare them as that. Take care!

I don't think that this difference depends on gender necessarily, I think it just depends on the individual. I've known plenty of women who have a difficult time expressing themselves, and plenty of men who are super articulate. Some people just seem to be better at expressing themselves than others.
Also, some people who aren't great at expressing themselves vocally can be wonderful at expressing themselves in writing. I know I'm one of those. :)
