With backgrounds so different, knowing the precise definitions of words is necessary to successfully communicate. Otherwise, where ignorance reigns and background experiences are very different, misunderstanding is inevitable. Because these languages share an overlapping moral vocabulary, they contain a propensity for systematic mistranslation, creating misunderstandings which impede communication and limit the potential for cooperation and care in relationships. This is obvious. What is not obvious is why pop feminists prefer to blame the problem on men, rather than to confront the root causes directly and honestly.
Men often seem to respond well to communication that is direct, honest and to the point.
But many women seem indirect. But men view evasion as a sign of dishonesty, and often experience a question as a demand for information or a solution to a problem. The first thing this tells him is, she wasn't listening. By the very nature of her question, however, it demands a reassessment of data, to which he may respond irritably. Such differences in communication style sometimes lead to misunderstandings with horrible consequences, like acquaintance rape.
