premise: They echo the old question, posed regularly by missionaries, anthropologists, and linguists, as to whether women speak (or  chatter,  a word used only for females and nonhumans) a different language, a dialect, a  genderlect  with each other and with men, whether they can, do, or should speak what the title of Dale Spender's book calls Man Made Language .  The answers often appear in measured, academic prose.
hypothesis: The questions they are asking are all new and unique.
