Women are also expected to be more social than men, and when they aren't, it is regarded as cute. Or something else. You often hear about the brooding lone wolf in the corner, but with women she is the shy wall flower. A little quirky.
I have found the opposite. As a woman, I'm supposed to know all these subtle social signals, pick up on hints and atmospheres, be soft and gentle.
I don't do any of that, therefore I'm labelled as rude, blunt, insensitive, and given a wide berth, even though I have the best of intentions.
