Take a pen, or a tennis ball and toss it in the air at a friend.
I have noticed that most women will flinch and cover their head or try to move out of the way. Men generally put their hands up to catch, even if they aren't very good at catching. Some people on both sides do it skillfully, most just flail.
There are of course, exceptions: women who will try for the catch and men who will flinch. But it is surprising to me how often the dichotomy exists.
One could prescribe it to some hunter-gatherer explanation if they choose to. I prefer to wonder what in our society has created this split.
