All stupendous questions.

You know, I think a lot of the men I know definitely underrate how long/proportionately they themselves talk, which would produce much the same effect as overrating how much other men talk, and produce the accelerating and crescendoing reiteration characteristic of Certain Male Conversations.

Yeah, I definitely lose track of time while I'm talking.

There are definitely some things which are gendered (see many of these https://blogs.cardiff.ac.uk/rsrc/2019/03/08/i-got-told-what-to-call-this-poem-by-my-male-colleague/) - but there are also lots of things that men do to each other all of the time. (Some of which I wish they didn't, to be fair)

Yeah, I think that the gender oppression and the inter-male jockeying are both forms of Hierarchy Framing.
