There no “the selfish gene of the man”. There especially no “the selfish gene of the woman” given how all the genes in woman are also in men.
Humans have between 20000 to 25000 genes and all of them are “selfish”.
A gene that on the X chromosome “wants” to be copied regardless of whether it’s in the male or female body.
Thinking in terms of the interest of genes means not only thinking on the level of an individual specimen.
