If you have an active life of the mind, about 10 years of mind-aging (fueled by learning, thinking, creating) creates as much cognitive distance as the average gender gap.

People who don't think much (or do so in stylized ways that avoids novelty) tend to essentialize gender by local cultural pattern, so you get exaggerated performances of locally archetypal male/female LARPing around early 40s with non-thinkers.

Then as these closed-thinkers/non-thinkers age, you get gendered aging caricatures where the performance distance stays roughly constant (and exaggerated) but the de facto distance narrows (same kinds of grumpiness, close-mindedness etc).

The reason active, open-to-experience thinking triggers convergence faster is people start to phone in minimum-viable gender performances but otherwise tie identity evolution to other aspects of life.
