David,

It could be that men deal one-on-one from generic relational
confidence, whereas women "reply all" to avoid the appearance of
indiscretion or to avoid creating a false sense of intimacy for their
interlocutor.
There might be another explanation as well. Some men have experienced
the embarrassment of seeing what they thought was a private message
appear on a list to which both they and the intended recipient belonged.
Such emails will usually contain unspeakably nasty remarks about someone
else on the list.
Women, perhaps, have no shame. (I'm sending this to you only, of course.)
Your pal,
Paul Gaughin
