Kris: So, you don't drink, you don't do drugs, and you don't worship. How do you escape your own head?

There's a theory that women use italics in writing, and even to an extent in speaking, more than men do because they are worried that what they are saying will not be taken seriously, or in the right way; that italics are necessary to direct the conversation to where they intend it to go, as if it wouldn't get there otherwise. There's a theory that this is because women recognize an inherent inferiority in themselves when they speak with men, and so use italics to compensate.
