Men prefer intense but brief action, women prefer gentle but continuous action. Examples:

Women care for children, men are called to punish children.

Women do most of the daily work, men briefly go off for hunting and defense (and expect to be taken care of by women during the downtime)

Men want to give a big gift and not think about it for awhile, women continuously want small gifts reminding of love.

Men fuck hard and fast and fall asleep, women want to be fucked for a long time (and get those multiple orgasms).

Men get angry, have an outburst, and forget, women rarely forgive or forget.

And the reason it all comes down to is because

Men can produce millions of sperm each day and want to spread them out without consequence to themselves, women produce one egg a month and suffer pregnancy.
