Gender differences have always existed, since the birth of man. Over the centuries, females are generally weak compared to males. As Tanne said, “There are no unmarked women.” It means that each woman has to make decisions about her hair. clothing, makeup and accessories and every decision has meaning. Why are there no unmarked women? Because most women are influenced by a male's judgment even if males don't know who he is. Therefore, I strongly agree with Tannen's idea that there are no unmarked women, but women should have the right to choose whether to be marked or not. Tannen was born in Brooklyn, New York, and received her doctorate in linguistics from the University of California. at Berkeley and teaches at Georgetown University. More and more attention from people forces women to take care of their appearance. On the other hand, males are adopting the fact of not being marked.

In a way it shows the situation that women face in the workplace. People have less confidence in women's abilities, which hurts women's feelings and confidence. On the other hand, Tannen further emphasizes the
