If you're looking for INTs in the "party scene", you're looking in the wrong place.
Of course society rewards ESF behaviour in females. Society is largely comprised of ESF females - how could it be otherwise? Why would any society reward individuals who have so little regard for it?
I confess, women are something of a mystery to me. I don't enjoy their company or their conversation (although I don't know any female NTs). We have nothing in common, and I am conscious of their judgment which I find intolerable. When I was younger I was certain I should have been a boy, and all of my close friends are male, but usually men find me intimidating or weird or don't find me at all. And I'm too self-sufficient to be bothered.
If so-called feminine attributes (nurturing, creating harmonious relationships/environments, domesticity etc) predominate in females because they are biologically adaptive, it follows that it is not (or has not been) biologically adaptive to be an NT female, for whom such behaviors are alien. Clearly, it is also not socially adaptive, and therefore we would not expect to see many NT females "running around".
We are an aberration...but we wouldn't have it any other way...
I disagree with this; IMO, xNTxs just do this with... a unique flavour and zeal and point of view?
I wouldn't be surprised if xNTx females were a little less likely to procreate/want to be nurturing, but in my experience and watching, for example, my INTJ Biochemistry prof who is a mom of 4... it's just different. Something a lot of males aren't interested in, no doubt.
