 My point is related more from a theological point of view in which certain behaviors we have come from our “fallen nature” through original sin. We all have this tendency to manipulate and control, regardless of gender, but that doesn't mean it was meant to be this way (I can see these differences mainly in children from good and bad families). But if I consider that only “fallen nature” exists, then surely we are all inclined to evil and I would agree with you. 

My issue with this topic is more related to the labeling of the other. Enclosing the other in a concept that generates separation, dispute, resentment, etc., which often makes it impossible to have good relationships and transform our personality, growing in virtues.

But it could be that I'm really retarded to believe in that 😅
