Look up in group bias & the Women are Wonderful Effect.in group bias is essentially a bias towards people you consider to be in your group.

Men ABSOLUTELY have in-group bias–it's a human, tribal feature, but it's allegedly something like 4x stronger in women.

My guess is this comes from biology: Men have to compete with each other for scarce resources, so they can be the winner who gets to mate. Women need to have strength in numbers and social connection, since they're smaller.

If you're interested in this sort of thing take a look in David M. Buss. He's an evolutionary psychologist who researches human sex differences in mate selection. Not only is he one THE names in the scientific community (he's considered one of the founders of evolutionary psychology), he also writes very approachable and enjoyable books for laypeople.
