Women co-operate and men compete? Well...that's very context driven. I am not an ambitious person. Not even remotely driven by any desire for success, and not particularly competitive. Except in academia, where I am very competitive, individualistic, and ambitious.
You are generalising to a great degree. You are confusing what is innate with what is contextual. You are also confusing gender difference with gender construction. I do not believe men and women are interchangeable. What you are talking about has little to do with actual gender difference and much to do with gender constructions as it pertains to expected forms of female expression (much as the old academic view was that Autobiography was a primarily masculine form of expression (due to innate gender differences) and diurnal life-writing a primarily feminine one; likewise the earlier, perceived femininity of novels as a form).
What you are saying is not borne out in the real world.
