Or, conversely, you could be assuming that men are somehow incapable of applying the right conversational register: that when confronted by a woman they suddenly turn into drooling animals only capable of saying "heh heh, breasts".
Basically, yes. Not that women can't joke about it, but don't feel it obligatory to do so. Whereas, in my experience, it's almost obligatory that some man will. Do you think I'm wrong?
You sound like you think that's all based on insane stereotypes in my head, do you really? I mean, I may have a head full of weird stereotypes, but "women like talking about their breasts" is Piers Anthony, not me :)
