I talk like...a ?

As I was spending the day with my sister yesterday an interesting topic of conversation came up and I had a grand revelation. I talk like a man! Apparently there is a little thing called "girl talk" that I had no idea existed until yesterday. My eyes were opened so I have chosen to blog about it hoping that you might have a similar revelation or perhaps you already know this.
It all starts with the stereotypical little girl. Little girls like to play with dolls and tend to view their relationships with other girls as equal. If one female is bosier than the others she is not well received because it is like she is saying she is above the other girls. This is not so with boys they grasp the concept of unequality at a young age possibly because positions are not equal on sports teams. By the way this is speculation and I am not claiming to have all of the answers to the differences between the sexes.
So because there are differences between males and females there are different ways you deliver a message. With most females (once again not true in all cases just look at my sister and I) you need to skirt around the situation instead of coming out and saying it. Of course with males you can just bluntly say what is in your head and for the most part it will be received and processed accordingly. Women tend to hear what you say and overexaggerate it. I am not a man so I may be a little off.
What does this have to do with me? I just now realized when I have something to say I just blurt it out because that is what my family does. I learned my manly talk from my mother and sister. I tend to hurt a lot of girls feelings and I just thought it was because I am a jerk, well I guess I am not I just process things differently. I have always responded better to people who speak bluntly to me so I thought others would too. Not true! Not even close. I am so silly sometimes.
So what is your opinion? Go ahead, like I said this is not some great study done by a great group of scientist at a university. It is maily just speculation from my sister and myself.
