There has been some sociolinguistic research done on this issue, but, is there a way to really research it properly? Because we have to consider regional varieties, social classes, migration, age, etc.

less and less so, allegedly according to anecdotes. But as Psychology suggests, from infanthood genderised communication differences are reproduced from the models parents and others give us.
Well, I think talking only makes a lot of sense as glimpsed through conversation: so look at gender differences and speech acts. Look at gender and speech acts on a proper reseachdatabase, or even JSTOR if theat's all your Uni offers like my new one- and you will find some clues that may match..
I believe you will find that relative closeness of the two (or ability to find common ground is as important as any difference on the criteria you mention.in terms of comms ( estimate baserd frm my Psych notes)
However men traditionally talk in different ways, connected to dominance. They overlap and talk over in ways women would have been thought rude to reproduce a generation ago.
There are other well-known differences in speech acts, such as the immense difference between the near-conversational style seen in groups of up to 5 and the turn-taking, meeting style of larger groups.

If men are from Mars and Women from Venus ... does that mean women are hotter-headed than men as Venus is closer to the sun than Mars ? No doubt there will be some research done by a bunch of students someplace in the future.

Yes, I see both qualitive and quantitative answers; there seems to be an equal mix among the genders. It might have to do with left and right brain thinking and which side the individual uses more. It's just a guess.

I suggest you get the book men are from mars and women are from Venus. The 1992 book by John Grey explains it all. Another great one is called womanspeak, which is a more satirical look at the language of the two sexes.

Yes I would think so. I just watched some video in my sociology class about something similar to that. Don't think you can really research it properly besides taking surveys or observing people continuously. Who knows *shrugs*

Men and women speak different languages, irrespective of their country or area of origin.

Its more a statement than a question. If you refine it perhaps I, along with others, would be able to give a more accurate response.

the qaualities of a woman depends on the woman. However, recent neuroscience has unearthed that women think in a different way than men

It's 'different FROM' not "different THAN"!
It would appear (in your case at least) that a woman's language is bad language!
Ha ha ha ha!
