Male-Female Communication: Debunking the Mars-Venus Myth

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-yvonne-k-fulbright/male-female-communication_b_813095.html?ref=fb&src=sp

Go to a popular news site like The Huffington Post and plug the term "mars venus" into the search field. At least a dozen blogs come up, making reference to men and women speaking "different languages." The dogma of John Gray's "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus" is everywhere, and it appears positioned to get even bigger with Summit Entertainment reportedly acquiring the film and TV rights to Gray's franchise.

Why should we care? According to scientific research and Deborah Cameron's "The Myth of Mars and Venus," Gray has "he" versus "she" communication all wrong.

The article and arguements seem to be designed to counter accepted arguments, using specious, unsourced references.

I am always willing to reconsider anything, but need more than selective claims with a specific purpose.
