That is certainly one reason. Ever read "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus"? It'll explain a lot about us men and you women and is a highly recommended read.
We men are not talkative, especially not about such subjects, usually. Women like to express their feelings, we do not(again mostly).

If we know that a woman understands and accepts that we are/think/feel different in many respects and does not treat our way as being wrong, we might get more talkative as well. There is no 'wrong', just 'different'(except if you judge it on morale which is implied by society)

Just my opinion on that matter.
