Sex differences in vocabulary reflect sex differences in model and valence – and we’ve seen this consistently in every civilization in every era since the first evidence of women’s writing.

Sex differences are simple – a division of cognitive labor given the division of reproductive strategies.

The first principle differences are in-time vs over-time, empathizing vs systematizing, consumption vs capitalization, risk sensitivity vs responsibility sensitivity.

All female speech reflects these differences which in general are the result of priorities and therefore valence.

Perhaps the most innovative part of my work consists of documenting sex differences in lying.
