Awfully cynical, aren't you Arcella?
I think it depends greatly upon many different mitigating factors, such as age, upbringing, social pressures, other pressures (for instance work related), etc.
You can't just tar everyone (or even nearly everyone) with the same brush. There is great variety in the human race, especially among the female half of it, who posses far greater variations in both behaviour and personalty than men do; men being by and large much simpler and easily united by a common interest (the reason for this is genetic; I don't know all the details, but it has something to do with our Y chromosome, which has lost the vast majority of the genes it used to have, whereas the X has lost comparatively few).
