Women really, really, don't want to be treated the way men treat each other when they get together without external sources of censure. Trust me on that.
A lot of men really really don't want to be treated like that either.
also lots of women seem pretty comfortable in blokeish social settings.
There's lot of women who are more comfortable socializing with men and have hobbies or think about topics that might have once been considered "tom-boyish" that aren't considered so now (thankfully) and they can find a lot of common ground to converse with men.
I'm not totally sure what you are talking about, but I don't think I want to be treated like that either. (I'm male)
Trust me on that.
Nah, you need much better evidence than that --esp. for such a sweeping claim.
