A great gender blog post on female talk

Some of these issues are controversial but there are lots of great links, a clear example of 'mansplaining' and some important ideas. I had the experience she talks about just last week when I said something which no-one responded to; then, when a male colleague echoed it, everyone enthused about the idea. I am a reasonably assertive speaker, although my timing isn't great (I can kill any joke at 100 paces), so is it a gender issue?
