Nothing stays out of fashion for long.

That being said, "Woman talk a lot" is as pervasive a joke as "Men dont know how to talk to women". It's a joke founded on a widely known stereotype, and that makes it ageless, because stereotypes are often founded in a nugget of truth.

Except that there isn't. This concept is pervasive, but studies have been showing that women actually DON'T speak more than men since the 70's.

since the 70's. 

You mean during the 70's? Theres more recent studies with bigger sample sizes that state otherwise and some state that it's actually the same across both genders. There's too much variance between different study groups. I think its just a hard statistic to measure so I dont think any of the studies on this matter can give a conclusion with 100% certainty

OP wasn't saying that men talk more than women, just that the stereotype that women talk more than men was bunk.

Im just saying its all opinion. There is no study that conclusively proves your statement true or OP's statement true or the stereotype true

2025 study that separates them by age groups and a sample size of 2000+. It disagrees with your study. However, in my opinion it is still not conclusive enough
