Summary/Abstract: Our paper deals with the concept of /didacticity/ which can apply to a man`s as well as a woman`s discourse in the political field. Our goal is to prove that the differences which occur in terms of genre can also be identified in terms of didacticity in a more or less visible way. Therefore the masculine discourse displays a pragmatic, rigurous didacticity, while the feminine discourse plays on a subjective, empathic didacticity which is built on emotions more than on reasons.
