Sophicles establishes many diffrences between men and women through the examples of Oedipus and Jocasta. First of all Jocasta is centered on the idea that fate is not alterable and a person's future is pre-determined while Oedipus believes that he has power over what goes on in his life and demonstrated this by supposedly running away from his fate.
Also Oedipus and Jocasta react diffrentely to the knowlege of Oedipus' bad deeds and his murderous past. Oedipus wishes to uncover the entire truth about his fathers death and how it happened to destroy all possible doubts while Jocasta comes to the conclusion that Oedipus is her son and her husband and "freaks out" (yes i made that a technical term).
