Makes no difference to me. Male or female, doesn't matter when I decide whom to help.

Its old people who are more likely to get sympathy/charity from me.

Fundamentally, I still find it odd that ‘help’ is so often associated (nearly exclusively) with giving money, when all too often money is just a short term fix of a symptom that will recur tomorrow, and the underlying cause needs a very different type of help, or at least some careful consideration.
Is that partly our (foreigners perception) fault? Quick fix, money for them, salve our conscience, job done?

That said-
I do give more money to women. Only if I know them, generally. There are a couple of matriarch characters who despite their years are actually caring for the various kids from the extended family, while the kids’ parents are off working. There’s no expectations, so it is freely given, and gratefully received.
Blokes get help generally in the form of me utilizing their services. Tuktuk, truck (put back in more gas than I may have used). I’m wary of putting money in the hands of someone who might simply drink it early, and forget to work for the rest of the day, creating another problem later.

It doesn't matter whether you are male or female; the chances of you getting help from me that isn't mandated by tradition or regular etiquette are equally small.
