There are differences in pain perception for temperature in men/women, but I’ve never seen a definitive answer on why. The most common explanation with a moderate amount of evidence is that women have typically higher amounts of insulating fat in the integumentary system.
I don’t recall any strong studies showing differences in shower temperatures or shower lengths in men/women, but I guess I’ve never really looked into it either.
Note that there is an actual, tangible difference in shower temps when you have elevated estrogen levels, to the point that its one of the earliest markers of HRT working for trans folk.
Length of shower is purely subjective, though may have some roots in toxic masculinity.
Guess I learned I’m a woman today. First I’m hearing of it.
Slay, queen.

Maybe my shower just doesn’t get that hot because some days, all the way hot just doesn’t cut it.
