I agree with most of what you said. There are biological differences between men and women though, and we do tend to have different reactions to similar situations based on our hormonal balances. It’s scientific, and not some antiquated ideology. We know the effects estrogen and testosterone have on mood, behavior, physique, and libido. We even know how particular balances of those hormones can impact someone’s perceptions and reactions. When men undergo hormonal treatment for transitions they do become more emotional, and when women transition to male they become less emotional. Men and women with lower estrogen levels have a lower libido and men and women with higher estrogen levels demonstrate larger mood swings. Even something as simple as testosterone replacement for injured or older men can trigger emotional differences until the doctor gets the patient’s estrogen balance correct.
Hormones make a difference, but I don’t think it’s wise to use that to say “men are like this and women are like that (but because of hormones).” Doubly so since there are a ton of factors that impact those levels, e.g. age, weight, medications, cycles, etc.

Men are only less emotional if you don’t consider things like anger emotions. Which is bullshit.
