Hmmmm. I'm going to push back at some of these points.

Men and women have different hygiene standards that are generally delineated by personality rather than by sex. It largely depends on your childhood. Where I think you're right is that men are socially conditioned to care less about dirt and grime than women. There are men who care a lot about hygiene, there are women who don't care one iota.

I think many men are good friends, their friendships differ in the way they are constructed to women's friendships and this makes them somewhat baffling to view from the outside. Don't mistake an absence of female-display markers make you believe males don't have good friendships.

Hmmm..... women might find men boring, but men might find women boring. I know plenty of women whose sole interest is makeup and reality TV. Their relationships tend to be based around talking about other people and what they're up to. This might be fascinating for those involved, but I think most men would find it boring. Most men would talk about video games and sports because it presumably allows them to talk about strategy and bond over shared goals.

Humans are jealous and insecure. The difference here is that men tend to be more violent than women - meaning when they go insecure it can have catastrophic consequences. Women are equally jealous and insecure, it does not play out in such dramatic ways. I work in a secure mental health setting, many of the women sectioned are here because they have stalked their ex partners. Many of the men are here because they have done likewise.... in most cases, the men behaved more violently. There are always exceptions.

Men behave as parasites is simply baiting the misandrist echo chamber. For every male parasite there is a female one. The Princess who doesn't leave home. The stay at home housewife of california or whatever the programme is for. These things are personality dependent not sex dependent.
