Who really talks most?

David Bonderman has some company. Well, he has even more company. Yoshiro Mori, president of the Tokyo 2020 organizing committee says women talk more than men. Well, according to American Political Science Review, women talk far less than men in deliberative discussions when men outnumber them. Women spoke less than 75 percent of the time and faced more frequent hostile interruptions in the APSR study. Less talking for women translates to less influence, an equation women know all too well.
