We can admit there are differences in biology, sex, and cultural expectations rather than live in fantasy land and paint with a brush so broad it covers literally everyone in existence.
How about we treat groups as individuals. Whether that be a man or woman. Chances are the problems effecting most men are issues other men face. Women that only women face. Then some that everyone does.
I'm my experience the only problems that affect any specific gender are either tied directly to biology or, much more commonly, are problems that we ourselves create because we insist on a difference between genders.
They're both linked intrinsically as we're both saying though.
I'd argue that the difference culture makes between genders is rooted way more in biology than we people to give credit for. So much of who a person is relies on a the genetic roll of the dice and a lot less on how we're raised, who are parents are, etc. While they absolutely have influences, it's just way less than we link to think it is. Separated twin studies have shown this time and again.
Also, testosterone and estrogen are a hell of a drug.
The concept of gender derives from biological sex, so yeah they're linked. But, beyond being a convenient way to different genitals, gender doesn't really provide any positive influence to society. It's most often used as a way to reconcile differences between people and discriminate them into an identifiable group.
