Gender==social construct about what it means to be a man/woman Sex==what genitals you have
Also complicated by people who believe themselves to be female but like to express masculine traits... A debate best ignored for the most part.
(and by people who won't agree on what words mean)
Persons with female genes *might* be more likely to want a long-term thing than a short-term thing vis having/raising babies. But current female methods of *getting* long-term things appear to suck.
