You can pretend simple biology doesn’t exist all you want but reality does not care and teenage girls and teenage boys will continue to act in their respective clichéd ways because of developing brains and different hormones creating behaviours that define that period when humans come of age.

Sure, OK. But why is "teenage girl" being used as a pejorative?
Is there something wrong with writing like a girl?

It isn't being used as a pejorative. But an adult person shouldn't write like an emotionally unstable teenager if they want to be taken seriously. Teenage girls have a particularly clichéd way of writing and communicating. That's it. Being emotionally unstable isn't a pejorative either; it's part of growing up. It's called adolescence, when the brain is in a particularly turbulent and dynamic part of development.
