What you know about the races from star trek:
As a general observation, I believe that humans are mostly irrational and immoral creatures. They have a tendency to create complicated systems of morality and rules which they do not follow themselves, but rather exploit the weak (e.g., women) because they can get away with it in large societies where no single person is responsible for their actions.
It is not necessary to say that most people are like this, since it should be clear from the fact that you mentioned women as an example that some male humans do not exploit these rules. That said, in human society such exploitation has a large impact on their system of morality and thus cannot be ignored.
One of the most important points that comes to mind is that humans are not particularly rational. They tend to act based on their emotions, and only afterwards do they come up with a reason for why they acted as such.
For example, according to a study I recently read about: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/01/180104132250.htm
The majority of men would rather accept a low-paying job with an attractive female boss than a high-paying job from an unattractive one, despite the fact that in both cases their salaries are equal. As such, humans do not seem to be rational creatures who make decisions based on logic and reason.
It is also important to note that the human species seems to have a tendency for self-preservation and violence. Humans are known to engage in conflicts over the smallest reasons, be it over land or water.
