The stereotypes that women only talk about fashion among themselves or men are only interested in exchanging views on the newest car model is clearly and outdated way of thinking. But it seems there could actually be some truth in that, because according to data analysis from the Centre for Reading Research, men and women knew different words. The centre posted an online vocabulary test and analysed the first 500,000 results, focusing on differences in gender. Some words exhibited a large margin between the percent of men and women who reported knowing them. Here is a list of some of the words that are more familiar to men than women.
