Is Robbie Clark correct in erting that men and women write categorically different poetry?

In the movie "I'm Not There," Robbie Clark (Heath Ledger) erts that men and women have access to different kinds of pain, and thus that "chicks can't be poets." I don't agree with that, but men and women most certainly do have access to different kinds of pain. Does it not logically follow, then, that the expression of that pain is categorically different? In other words, do poems written by men have inherent differences from poems written by women?
