I really appreciate your insights here, orenwolf.
I like you can get a bit unwieldy with explaining things, and for similar reasons it sounds like — technical field, lots of specific knowledge in my mental kb that often needs to be relayed, etc. Always a struggle for me to find the right line — however when I cross it, it has nothing to do with gender issues as far as I can tell (I do the same thing with people of all genders, backgrounds, etc. and has nothing to do with looking down upon).
