Women are statistically likely to like flowers and jewelry as gifts*. Since you are a woman, you must like flowers and jewelry. Therefore, I will bring you flowers & jewelry and get pissed off at you for not being grateful to me and for not acting according to my expectations for how women are supposed to behave. Ecological fallacy – inferences about the nature of specific individuals are based solely upon aggregate statistics collected for the group to which those individuals belong. We are not all the same person, EVEN IF there are clearly identified trends among the demographic population. Ask people how they want to be treated, and then treat them that way. *I have no citation for women being statistically likely to like flowers & jewelry, and even if I did, it would most likely not control for cultural pressure to conform to cultural expectations. I just made up a "typical" "woman thing" that people argue with me over all the time, because apparently, my not liking this "typical woman thing" is an affront to my gender and to his generosity simultaneously and it is supposedly *I* who ought to change to fit.
