To the OP - you might want to do a couple of searches around the forum, most of what you are asking has already been discussed to death and answered many times over.
To answer your main question, the general consensus is gender generalizations are shockingly flawed and out of touch with reality. They are more of a reflection of an immature mind with a very limited experience.

Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil
