This is arguable. There are mechanisms in our behavioural patterns (which can be deemed instinctual) that lean towards gathering resources, protecting family, and teaching youth, etc., even in males. It varies significantly male to male, yes, but it's there.
Let's not think in binary opposites: We're not monogamous, so we don't like to take care of children, only make them!
