Read "The Psychological Foundations of Culture" and quote me a paragraph that pattern-matches anything like that.

In fairness, that's about culture. Not gender.

The paper could've been called "The Biological Foundations of Culture" and it would've been more accurate. Read it before saying that.

Nope. You're looking for the paper by Tooby and Cosmides.
