I've never seen a more brainlet linguistic take than: "men and women don't speak differently in [natural language here]"
Because a vast majority of the time yes they fucking do. It may not be as pronounced like in Japanese, but damn if they speak *exactly the same*.
Something I've noticed over years of looking at different languages.
Men (or extremely tomboyish women)
- often use a lot of truncated/clipped/reduced forms
- drop formalities quicker than women
- in the case of languages like Japanese or Korean, they use the harsh/vulgar register to tease or mock their friends. (おい、やめろよ!)
- don't tend to use tag questions that often
Women (and effeminate men):
- don't typically use reduced/truncated forms unless speaking quickly
- are less quick to drop formalities
- (mostly in asia but other countries as well) try to sound cute
- higher use of tag questions ("right?" "huh?")
I've also noticed, particularly in Russian but also other languages, men will use the "low colloquial" forms when speaking casually, but not inherently in a degrading or mocking sense. I've mostly seen it used as a "it's just $thing, nothing special/don't make a big deal about it."
Also men will swear a LOT more than women, I don't entirely know the reason for this.
Ща, 'то моя работёнка. (Yeah, it's my job)
It doesn't mean he doesn't like it, but it carries an air of "it's just a job man, I gotta make money."
