Ask a man, "where did you buy this meat?" and he tells you which store. Ask a woman, and she says, "why? what's wrong with it?"
Like many such jokes, I think there is a tiny kernel of truth in it, in that woman of my generation were brought up to analyze things to death, and men were brought up to be a little more direct.
As for conversational conventions, everyone seems to play by a different rulebook.
