I don't mean "do female ENTPs have less capacity for Ne?"
I simply mean, do female ENTPs come across as more introverted, particularly in new groups? I've realized, via my Fe and Si, that my bold behavior and intellect is less accepted in certain social contexts. Females are "supposed" to be "kind-hearted" and "emotional" and, well, "girly", and my whacky ENTPness just won't allow that!
I've found that I'll often clam up in new groups while I'm still getting a grasp on what will be acceptable behavior, especially if I need to make a good impression on that new group, for whatever reason. I put up a lot more filters, and I just kind of keep my crazy thoughts to myself until I've figured out what will mesh well.
Any other female ENTPs empathize with this, or am I just using my gender as an excuse for my initial lameness when meeting new people?
