M vs F styles in RP

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.
