The basic observation that women are relatively more interested in people is a standardly claimed psych finding. Not saying it’s not controversial, just that I’m not making it up. E.g. this paper https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.00189/full has 335 citations. It stands to reason that if women are relatively more interested in people, they’ll spend relatively more time thinking about them, and so have relatively more knowledge and understanding. That’s all.
For the reasons I stated.

Anyway, you can see a version of this post that’s the same but without references to women specifically, if you like: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/ypvs4asdFq7riDWmd/interpersonal-alignment-intuitions
