~fr~ Voice... there's various techniques; last I checked, the only one documented online was Melanie Speaks. Speech patterns... less assertive speech is typically considered more feminine. Asking for confirmation, saying "I feel", rather than "I think", occasionally adding question particles like "no?" or "hmm?" at the end of sentences. Social awareness. More focus on pack bonding and harmony. Taking care to be credibly supportive when walking through the mine field of "Does this dress make me look fat?" Asking questions like that when what you really mean is that you want reassurance. "Don't you think...?", etc... There are a myriad of differences, a number of which are specific to the culture, some of which are not. An important point, though, is to pay attention to intonation and body language, which seems near-universal outside tonal languages. Talking to a good SRS clinic would probably be your best bet in this regard, as there's more than can be covered here, much of it tacit. Health, al-Aswad.
