Are you actually going to cite something that claims your stereotypical ideas of differences in the behavior of people of certain genders are actually rooted in biology? You're just spouting prejudiced ideas and saying "it's biology!", but haven't vetted any of your claims at all. If you're going to use the idea that your prejudices are rooted in scientifically verifiable truth, you'll have to at least cite some sources so that your claims can be critically analyzed.

I'm betting the best you'll be able to come up with are either speculative evo-psych papers, which are rarely if ever evidence based, or outdated studies. It's difficult if not impossible to control for cultural and societal influence when analyzing gendered behavior. I don't believe this will stop you though - you've decided your opinions are objective truth.
