Women are expected to act passive and men are expected to act active. It's way easier to act like a shy and passive NT. It's very hard to act like an active and outgoing NT.

I was just thinking about this very same thing the other day.

I agree, but I will add some additional thoughts. I think this is one of the reasons I get along better with guys. It is easier to be a shy girl around guys than a shy girl around other women.
