Language and gender
I just took lacking career ambition to its very highest (lowest?) level. Good eh? Actually Brand seems like a pretty intelligent interesting man, and the story of how Graham and Damon fixed up their differences actually made me cry, so, it's no more than I deserve really.
WE I don't mean that the modes of speech etc of men and women are indistinguishable in all cases or that differences can't be usefully looked at; I am just as wary of saying no generalisations can be made, because that often seems to me to backfire when talking about this sort of stuff. Then again I wouldn't like the job of sorting out why some people say kind of sort of like I dunno kind of like that type of stuff, like, given all the factors like where you grow up, where you live now, how old you are, what kind of job you do, how many teenagers you know, how many films you watch and where they come from, what books you like, etc etc etc, from what sex (since you're right about the term 'gender') you are.
