From the article: "Therefore, I am arguing that it is not our aim to teach men to hear women's genderlect nor to teach women how to speak men's genderlect in an effort to make men and women understandable to each other. But, as a challenge to the very speaker/audience, male/female, active/passive binaries, we should speak as listeners, a coupling that prefigures the hermaphrodite, that allows for a dual/duel form of difference, and that takes the risk of (mis)understanding."
