The difference in what qualifies as sarcasm to women, when compared to what is considered sarcasm to men.

A man's use and recognition of sarcasm refers to a witty, clever, or smart-ass response or comment. This type of remark is used to mock, satirize, make humorous, express frustration with a [conversation], etc. It is given with a derisive tone or affectation. A man who is sarcastic is smart, well thought out, and quick witted.

What qualifies as sarcasm among women is simply a response or comment that would be considered normal and completely bland within the [conversation] that it is a part of. However, solely the use of a mocking tone or affectation in a woman's voice allows them to label their response or themselves as sarcastic. Women who view themselves as sassy, or sarcastic will try to work this tone into [conversation] often, even though the content of their response was not quick witted or clever in any way.

In short: For men, sarcasm is about the content of the comment. It can be provocative but is always sharp, clever and can show the speaker to be [intelligent] and humorous.

For women, sarcasm is an ordinary, even sometimes dull response that is given in an [ironic] or mocking tone. No type of biting or quick content is used in this kind of comment.
