There is little to no biological basis for any of these ideas, yet they permeate our culture and generally for the worse.
On the other hand women are supposed to be submissive, quiet, gentle, nurturing and assume following roles.
These ideas also have no basis in our biology but stem from a pathological desire in men to control women in order to ensure our reproduction.
You, by clinging to outdated ideas, misinformation and your own dysfunctional gender identity, are slowing down the progress of all human kind.

Biology most certainly does influence female vs. male behaviour.
I am not saying that society doesn't play a role, but genders have natural tendencies to drift towards certain behaviours.
Good examples are ape society. Ape society, is the human state without sociological nurturing. An ultra aggressive alpha male leading a harem of females. Society invents concepts like monogamy, women's rights, etc...
Another good example is the effect of testosterone on behaviour. Give someone massive amounts of testosterone and it will make them violent, aggressive, and selfish. Give someone estrogen and they will get more passive.
