Cite a major criticism of the assumption that men and women communicate differently
What will be an ideal response?
One of the biggest criticisms has been in Tannen's unidimensional approach of studying gender differences in communication. To Tannen, gender is based on biological sex.

However, it could be that differences in communication skills, rather than differences in gender, could contribute to communication differences.
