Annual carbon footprints associated with men’s food and transport consumption were found to be 5.3 tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent (tCO2e) on average, while women’s average food and transport consumption produced 3.9 tCO2e, 26% less.

I thought it might be more than 38% of the gap wasn’t just biology.
The study might be more relevant if carried out in eg India or China, which each account for roughly 20% of the world's population
However the cause of the emissions and how to reduce them may not be the same in each country
