Hmm. Speculative thought, not sure if I believe it or not, but it feels truthy: The major division in masculine vs feminine conversation norms is whose responsibility it is to manage your feelings about the conversation. Male norms say it's yours, female norms say it's mine.

I think there is something here, but traditional "honor culture" is male-coded, but involves a lot of "you, sir, insulted me, and must apologize or I will challenge you to a duel!"

Yeah, maybe this is a thing only as long when you're collaborating. Status fights seem different.
