Really?
And Hardee's says men don't bake (the commercial where dude asks his boys if they want his freshly baked biscuits). I wonder what makes people think such things.

Men are stimulated by what they see, and women are stimulated by what they hear. Men have a recurrent physical needs cycle, while women have a recurrent emotional needs cycle. I think there are several differences, which is why it's so important in a relationship to try and meet each others needs.

These differences seem real because physical and biological differences have been exaggerated. For instance, women are usually smaller so that has translated to women being the "weaker sex." That designation has translated to a whole lot of gender stratification and other things (mostly nonsense). From there it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you tell a man to stop being so emotional all the time, he'll stop being emotional--or pick and choose his outlets more carefully. Then observers will say "aha! see...men are not emotional like women are!" Then the cycle continues.
Suffice it to say that when my significant other and I come together to discuss each other's needs, aside from physical and biological differences between us, we are not saying "I woman...you man...."
When he and I do something for each other that the other is fully capable of doing her/himself, it is purely about social influence and chivalry rather than biological/inherent differences and needs for males and females. Our personality and behavior differences are not confined to male/female or man/woman. In fact, there are many personality traits and behaviors in both of us that defy gendered norms and stereotypes. Imagine that.
