I think the more prominent difference is fashion, and the cultural approach to clothing.
Women are expected to “keep up” with the latest trend, and are influenced to dress like the celebrities and influencers they see. When my wife and I go back and look at pictures of ourselvelves, my wife can guess the year by the waistline of the jeans she’s wearing. Meanwhile I’m always there in the same jeans, with the same styles of t-shirts, buttoned-shirts, flannels, or thermal shirts depending on the formality and temperature of the occasion.

To paraphrase Munnery: it’s the vanity of women to spend all their time and money on their appearance, and the vanity of men not to bother.
I don’t know if that’s a women thing. I think people with that precision are the minority regardless of gender.
There are people of all genders who do so, but I think society places more pressure on women in particular.
