The gender itself also ain't a thing up until a certain age when youngsters realize that there are differences in this.

Yeah and we should've stayed like we were. This whole gender thing was a mistake, all of it.

The style of communication of adolescent human beings differs a lot based on their "gender" from my experience.

Well obviously but I don't think it's "interests vs core family". Both have both in my experience. Society doesn't really let men show it anymore but they definitely have the core family too. And women have interests, they're not all stupid.

I can agree on both points.

Though, women more often try to manipulate or instrumentalize people around them, from my personal experience.

Most men follow a more straight approach. From my very limited personal angle.

That's definitely true. I still don't think that's an inherent difference though, I think it's because women learn to take advantage of the Women are Wonderful Effect, whereas for men everyone is suspicious of them and views them as a potential threat or competition.

It is imho somewhat hidden in this deep-psychology thing I wrote above. Which took me a long time to fully accept.

Women mostly also expect to be loved unconditionally as a principle, while many men never get to even experience this. That is why many women long so hard for revenge when they get betrayed for the first time.

I could go on...

As I said: This is one of the topics I continuously spend time on with my most favorite therapists. I'm genuinely interested in it.
