3. "Women's Language" or "Powerless Language"?

The fact that the title even questions the more appropriate use of this term is ridiculous. One shouldn't even have to read the article to determine the many levels on which this question is wrong, but in my experience, I know that many people wouldn't question the validity of either title. It almost seems that "women" and "powerless" go hand in hand in many societies. However, this article proved that women's language is much the same as men's language in the courtroom. Whether based on nervousness or expertise, the way in which people are interrogated is not influenced by gender.
