But I think this is the sort of thing on which a lot of men give women particularly harsh scrutiny. Like what you said before, a lot of men have a stereotype that women aren't interested in X, so if they meet a woman who is supposedly interested in X, they grill her extra hard on it; where as if it were a man, they would just accept that he's interested.
