Most cross-gender communication problems in public contexts are women's problems, because the international rules in such situations are men's rules.

If I'm not preaching to the choir and can lend a hand, H... Be careful, because if you let it dry it stays tacky under your fingers.

Don't use tissues to clean it off... they disintegrate and leave dust. Wet wipes work best and the baby ones leave a nice smell of aloe vera.

Given it seems a consumer test sort of choice, I'd settle on the last option, the one proposed by Dr Helen Fisher.
Unlike others I don't take the essay as feminist crap, quite the opposite. It's been an attempt to be scrupulously fair. It does operate as options on an axis between poles, we tentatively describe as nurture and nature and whatever permutations extend from this base, but the thing has to be described in comprehensible language.
The different positions, and there are cultural implications in each of them, are set out. But it's actually straight anthropology, no advocacy occurs, we are left to think it through and it can be both disarming and complex doing so.
Fisher's case seems to allow a bit more for nuance and possibility is less conclusively deterministic within the scheme, if you take this choice. Wiggle room seems authentic enough to me, either we'll find out eventually, or not.
