1) I'm not sure where you are getting that this is a big deal; perhaps to some, in that their answers to the original query is more elaborate than others, and more animated, but I don't see this phantom big deal about this particular topic. Merely, I see it as as a curious quirk of indiosyncrasies for those that would employ it (whatca doing?), and the differing reactions of those that are subject to it as well (nuthin'-ranging-to-something-outlandlishy-complex).

2) Also, this is another thing that I'm not seeing. A total of two members' responses three responses (missed B_G's post) address the 'womanly angle' at all, and if I were allowed the opportunity to wager, I'd assume 1 1/2 of those responses were fueled in response to the manner in which the OP outlined his query and the general bias it includes to assume that a majority of women follow this rule.
