I'm not usually into gender stereotypes. And generally eschew them totally. Especially since by all accounts, I share more characteristics with the stereotypical man than the stereotypical woman. But in the admittedly small sample size of men and women in the mental health profession that I've seen, the women were softer, and the men more likely to be abrasive or distant. And my therapist is juuuuust right. :)
But like I said, it's a small sample size. Maybe ten or so, counting consultations and testing and interviews. And it may have something to do with different parts of the country too.
