I should read more about languages. While talking about porn on ​#emacs, I started a search on “single-sex discours” on Google and read the introduction of *Female Discourse Patterns in an EFL Classroom Setting* PDF, about Japanese women learning English and talking in the classroom. Very interesting summary.
