Since femininity as concept is sexist its not surprising that beeing an introvert is considered feminine, especially in the western world [I don't know enough about the east to make any judgment]

Women were always expected to sit back, listen and were expected to care wether someone liked them or not. Introverted and likable describe these really well imo.

It's weird, through, because the silent, loner type is also a male stereotype.

Women are presupposed to be gossipy and social.

True. Like every "wandering ronin" story ever.
