Do Women Talk More Than Men?

No.

For every study showing women talk more, there’s another showing men talk more. After a while, it becomes difficult to deny that individual preference and environmental pressures have more influence than gender on how much talking people do.

Amanda Marcotte suggests that we continue to believe this trope because of confirmation bias; conventional wisdom tells us women talk more, so we keep noticing anecdotal evidence in support of this belief.
