I really, really hate all those "women are empaths, men are systematizers" articles / books / etc. Probably because I'm much more socially awkward than my husband, not to mention my singular lack of success in guessing what a facial expression means in those cute online tests. I do admit, however, that I'm more sensitive to (perceived)(negative) social cues, but I suspect that has far more to do with trying to adapt myself into a very different culture at a sensitive age rather than my biological sex.
Seriously, if you compare his and mine LinkedIn / MySpace / FaceBook / whatever profiles (with the exception of LJ, but he doesn't use his at all), the most striking difference will be my pathetic number of links to his cornucopia.
