I'm always interested in odd gender distinctions, and collect them. I've known several people who seemed to explain every aspect of human behavior with (often ludicrous) gender distinctions. Women aren't audiophiles, don't seem to obsess about sound quality the way men do. If you go to sleep on a couch, and there's a woman in the house, there will be a blanket on you when you wake up. Etc.

   I didn't have a t.v. for 15 years, but make an effort now to be aware of pop culture, especially the youth culture stuff. Watch much more than my wife, even though I watch little. On the other hand I've never watched a ballgame of any kind in my life. I've seen them, but can't follow them through, can't "root," I am rootless. But I think guys do talk things over later, quite a bit. Before I ever saw the Simpsons I knew many episodes through young male oral history. And since ball teams trade players, the team is basically defined by what they're wearing, and guys talk about that stuff a lot too.
