I don't think that's a gender-specific thing. One of my brothers (both of which are slightly younger than me) just found out roughly 20 years ago that even numbered 3di routes were for loops and odd numbered 3di routes were for spurs. Because of this he didn't understand why the route number for the Long Island Expressway was Interstate 495, instead of I-395 or something like that. I had to explain that this was also for the Lincoln Tunnel Connector, the never-built Mid-Manhattan Expressway and East Marion-Old Saybrook Bridge. I've known this sort of thing before I was even 10.

For some reason she claimed the opposite was true.
