It seems that your question has raised the usual ‘dance the tangent’ and drowning in the semantic bog seems inevitable that occurs when we try to ‘communicate’ even in the name of rationality.
What exactly do you mean by hardwired, and why are you framing the question in this way, instead of trying to just understand the differences and similarities between men and women and then describe them as they are in simple terms, instead of trying to prove or disprove a specific premise based around the ambiguous terminology ‘hard wired’?
I meant something that's inherited in the biology that you couldn't change even if you wanted to (except by technology) - that's general across everyone.
OK so you are looking for behaviors that cannot be changed under any conditions (except by technology) and are different between men and women? framing the criteria like that I would suggest that there is only one single behavior that is immutable for all species and genders. This means that in answer to your OP, it means there are no behaviors that are different to men and women that are hard wired - unchangeable.
