Deborah Tannen's research in "You Just Don't Understand: Men and Women in Conversation" suggests that men and women have different conversational styles. One of the differences she notes is that men are more likely to ask argumentative questions, which can sometimes be perceived as challenging or confrontational, compared to women. This reflects broader themes in her work about how gender influences communication patterns.
