It has been my (personal, small n) experience that males are more focussed on extremes, spectacle, etc. While this is often combined with competitiveness, I think competitiveness is a general human trait that's just more obvious in men. Is delivering a crushing remark and jockeying for social position really any less competitive than having the fastest car or beating everyone in Quake? For the American experience, it's worth noting that while there are more women than men in the US, it is only because women live longer. Until the senior citizen stage of life, there are more men than women at any particular age. This likely has an impact on what men and women do in their formative years.
