Sexual stereotypes like this are based on binary genderism promoting the male versus female differences.
Regarding women seeking the strongest type, not all strong men are capable of becoming the equal in a relationship.
Likewise the stereotyping of men as always looking for other women. In certain cases, this may be true but most of the time, the man has female friends who are not truly rivals, but are sought out because the girlfriend or wife is unable to articulate herself in a straightforward way that makes sense to a man.
Flirting with a rival male to make a male significant other jealous isn't straightforward. It is a mindgame because a simple request to pay attention to her ought to be a part of the social compact that males and females implicitly agree to.
Mind reading by either sex is also a mind game since neither of us is telepathic.
Thus, the statement — "the males are like Bluetooth and females, WiFi" — is flawed.
Any male or female who tries to use it as a guide to a strong relationship will eventually find the stereotypes enable fallacies about male and female human beings, which may lead to either fanatical belief in, and enforcement of, the gender binary or worse, unhappy relationships and marriage.
Relationships are very much more complex than the internet and its technology.
Even so, the humor is appreciated. If you thought I was being sarcastic, then you are correct.
For sexual stereotypes are tools used by the patriarchy to maintain the lie that gender is binary.
Neoconservative elites of the patriarchy both in the Church and the State need to make money, and simplifying gender into a binary is what heteronormative means, since it simplifies the sales of product based on the gender binary of man and woman.
While I am not an expert on gender and relationships, I do understand that the statement that "men=Bluetooth and women=WiFi" means that we have a lot of work to do to expose the fallacy of gender as binary for the lie that it is.
Furthermore, the fallacy that men and women are like technology shows that this hilarious post reflects the extent that the "gender as binary" propaganda of neoconservative elements in Church and State is spoonfed into children's minds from cradle to grave.
YMMV
Synopsis of what I just wrote: men and women are not technology but instead are complex people. If you believe that gender only exists as a binary of man and woman, then you have fallen for the propaganda that follows us from cradle to grave. 😉

"Less than 1% of women own property": Debunking the myth

This isn't a myth; it's political opinion. It's also a form of propaganda.
By appealing to the emotions, it also is a logical fallacy.
For through marriage, women own property. Indeed, most of young feminists today have mothers who own property. Even in countries where women are oppressed, women own property either through their husband or their son(s).
"Almost half of world property is held in trust by women" would be closer to the truth.

Notes on False Dilemmas
False dilemmas are logical fallacies, and are also known as the false dichotomy and the either-or fallacy.
One historical example of a false dilemma called false choice is when Eldridge Cleaver said during his 1968 presidential campaign, "You're either part of the solution or part of the problem."
False dilemmas may deny the existence of more than two options, or/and that all the options available may work in synergy towards a goal.
Cleaver's statement gave the voters the false choice of voting for him, which would make them "part of the solution", and voting for the other candidate, "part of the problem". For the assumption is that voting for a candidate is a solution to a problem. However, politics is much more complex than that.
Morton's Fork consists of having to choose between two unpleasant options based on two assumptions.
To paraphrase the Wikipedia entry on false dilemma,
"Either the middle class of a nation appear wealthy, in which case they can be taxed for good; or they appear poor, in which case they are living frugally and must have immense savings, which can be taxed for good."
It's a false dilemma because it does not allow for another assumption: that some of the middle class may not have liquid assets.
Black-and-white thinking (splitting) is another logical fallacy. It occurs when conditional optimism arises while things are going well, but at the first setback, quickly falling into despair. Another case is when a person labels other people as all good or as all bad.
In the first example, the fallacy may be counteracted by not relying on things going well as a condition for optimism because a setback could equally be used as a condition for optimism.
Indeed, each setback is trying to teach us an important lesson to help us learn from our mistakes.
In the second example, not labelling people as either all good or all bad is the solution to the dilemma. For most people have good and bad qualities.
"Falsum in uno, falsum in omnibus" is the final false dilemma, which means "false in one thing, false in everything".
This fallacy is used "to label someone found to be wrong on one issue to also be wrong with regard to other issues."
However, incompetence in one respect does not imply total incompetence.
