This describes the vast majority of orators, nevertheless there are always a small number of exceptional ones who have the opposite sex's speaking characteristics.

One contibuting reason for this that I can figure out is perhaps because men and women have different personalities and thinking patterns. We all agree that there are more men than women who have a great sense of humor and they are good at logical thinking, and on the other hand, more females than males are considerate and proficient in emotion related things. In addition, because of thinking patterns, men are more specialise in grasping the overall trend and have a more profound vision, while women are more like to pay attention to details and things close to them. For example, you will find in a classroom, a male lecturer tends to care more about students who sit at the back seats, while a female lecturer mostly asks students sitting at front seats questions.

One day at college I listened to two speeches given by a male and a female professor. People felt more relaxed and laughed a lot when listening to the male professor speaking, while felt more compassionate listening to the female lecturer. …
