Sotah 3:7

If the daughter of a Yisroel is married to a kohein, her flour offering is burned but if the daughter of a kohein is married to a Yisroel, her flour offering is eaten. The difference between a male kohein and a woman from a kohanic family (kohenes) is the woman’s flour offering is eaten while that of the kohein is not eaten. A kohenes may be rendered a chalalah (unfit for kohanim) but a kohein cannot be rendered a chalal. A kohenes is permitted to render herself unclean for the dead but a kohein is not permitted to do so. A kohein may eat sacrifices of the highest degree of sanctity but a kohenes may not do so.

Sotah 3:8

Differences between men and women include: a male metzora lets his hair grow and tears his garments; a female metzora does not. A man may impose a vow to be a nazir on his son but a woman may not. A man can shave for the nezirus of his father but a woman cannot. A man can sell his daughter but a woman cannot. A man can betroth his daughter to another but a woman cannot. A man is stoned naked but a woman is not. A man is hanged after stoning but a woman is not. A man is sold to pay for what he stole but a woman is not. (This list is not exhaustive.)
