1973. Times were different then.

I’ve heard of Babel, but not Babble.

Nothing like good, old-fashioned sexism first thing in the morning. (I know, different times, blah blah blah. I was a teenager when this was penned.)

In my experience, women talk more than men, but I’m not sure that’s universally true. I’ll bet there are studies that show it’s true and ones that show the opposite.
