I'm usually suspicious of those Mars Venus ideas, but one popped into my mind here. I read in a Deborah Tannen book that men tend to react more negatively than women to being told what to do, since they place a high value on independence and autonomy. Perhaps as Dr Bob has started stepping in more and getting stricter about civility, more men than women have gotten uncomfortable participating here.
