Every facet of personal expression should bear the fingerprint of one's biological sex.

Studies have shown that women have denser and more sensitive nerves in their fingers for example, as well as a higher degree of fine motor control and awareness of movement in small scales as opposed to the large scale. I.E, men are better at lengthier motions, women better at small precise ones. Due to the way muscle mass works, however, men are almost universally faster at physical actions both large and small as they are able to harness more musculature in service of every action they make due to greater density. They "throw their weight in" quicker. They are instinctively more brutalistic and aggressive in their movements due to testerone as well, while women move carefully with higher bodily awareness. This instinctive caution and sensitivity when mark making probably gives women's drawings a different overall vibe or tactile impression.

From a young age, women have been shown to process color with a higher degree of discrimination, and so the color choices a woman might make when drawing may be far more subtle. Perhaps to other women, those choices stand out, whereas to a man with his comparatively less nuanced color processing capacity, it might appear dull because his brain literally cannot parse what is happening on such a precise scale. Similarly, women might find color choices made by men to be charmless and grotesque.

Subject matter is a can of worms for the culture war addicts to choke on and is highly variable. Look closer at the subtleties of how the artist draws first and it's easier to guess their sex in absence of any particular subject matter.
