Female here- I "see things". I took some classes an adult and after one class, one of my profs used to invite me along on all his field trips. The only problem was that he said I was like a bird dog- I "pointed" but never made a sound (my Dad taught me to be very quiet!!!), so he'd assign another student to watch me and alert everyone else. I agree with Mark- don't think it's a gender difference, just a "gift".
