The Myth of Mars and Venus
The Myth of Mars and Venus

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I find it interesting to look at culturally perceived differences between genders and/or sexes, and the aspect of using psychology to try to find a difference is especially interesting to me. Growing up, I heard the phrase "men are from Mars and women are from Venus," but have never really understood it, leading me to be intrigued by this article.

Evaluate the article
The lead section of this article is pretty well defined, as it gives a brief yet informative overview of what the topic will be. It does reference John Gray's book "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus" but does not later detail that much of what Gray's book said, which would have been beneficial since Deborah Cameron's book ("The Myth of Mars and Venus: Do Men and Women Really Speak Different Languages?") is in large part a response to this. In the details section, Cameron's main argument is laid out for the reader to easily understand but does not really go into specifics of the book. It is easy to read, but it seems like it could be expanded on. There is only one image of the book cover; more images could be included. There are references to links, but they are all articles from The Guardian or Cameron's book. The references could be diversified or more could be added to further the discussion.
