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.

Actually this is an interesting inverse to the "Male emotional labour is less visible" problem. Maybe it's *not* less visible in the wild, and men are just as bad at recognising that women are doing this at all, feminists have just done a good job of raising awareness.
