A couple references to studies on tone of voice, then gets into how guys tend to offer logical fixes for emotional problems while women often do the opposite — and why that creates friction. When someone's being vulnerable with you, don't rush to fix it. Just hold it carefully, like they handed you something fragile.Emotivity in the Voice: Prosodic, Lexical, and Cultural Appraisal of Complaining
