My thesis is going to prove that whenever there is a mixed-sex conversation between heterosexual women and men, women are repressed and simply cannot prevail among men, because men are less cooperative conversationalists and it is always women who have to do the hard work. Women always have had to work harder in order to be accepted by society as equal as men, but even in the present days it does not seem to be the case. Women and men are completely different, such are the expectations towards them by society. Women and men behave, talk and act differently in different situations, because of these expectations. Usually people do not act the way they do in a given situation because that is what they want to do, but because that is what they have to do in order to be accepted by the norms of society. For example, according to the expectations of society, boys or men are not supposed to scream when seeing a spider, rather they should act bravely and solve the problem in a really mannish way. This idea is also true for women, for example if we take the spider example, according to society it is women who have to scream and run away from a spider, because that is how women usually act in such situations.
