I got this idea of masculine vs. feminine preferences in discussion from theologian Alastair Roberts, who explained this dichotomy in his eloquent indoor voice in “Two Modes of Intellectual Discourse: Taking Everything Personally vs. Debate as Sport.”
More crudely than Roberts would put it, men like to bust each other’s balls, while women don’t.
