The American linguist Deborah Tannen argues in her research that men and women have different conversation styles. Generally, and there are always exceptions, talking about troubles is an important component to the conversations of women: women share their troubles with the expectation that the person listening to them will express sympathy and understanding, quite often sharing their own similar troubles, though not trying to demonstrate that their troubles are worse than the original woman's troubles as that would be seen as not showing empathy. Men on the other hand, will of course try to solve the problem  ;D  Given these differences, which is also evident IMVHO in Russian women, it is natural that forum dominated by men would be quite different in tone and discussion styles than those forums dominated by women  :-X
