How did the female Goddesses behave and act differently than the male Gods?

Gods and Goddesses represent facets of personality and are archetypes of behavior of human beings. They were created to personify the best and worst of human society. It isn't a "person" per se that they represent but an idea or trait or virtue and thus, they can't really be classified like people.
Having said that, there are traits that were distinctly looked at as male and those as female. In different mythologies and religions, they were different. In some, the hunt was masculine and in others it was feminine. So, you really can't qualify it that way - they just "are."

Well, it was phenomenally easy to trick or fool Male Gods, and only male Gods who had eaten baby Gods ever 'create' or bring forth Gods, while Goddesses create and birth other Gods all the time..
Other than that...
Inanna was prety much the female Zeus,
Hera, the female Loki....

I don't have an idea. Maybe you should know first which is which. Is he/she a God/Goddess of good, evil, beauty, etc. Then from there, you could evaluate what are their differences.

Considering there are hundred of gods and goddesses throughout history, you're going to have to narrow it down a little.
Which pantheon?

there would need to be more specific information given for a better answer such as which Mythology are you refering to the Norse, Greek, Roman, Native American, etc. as the different Deities had different agendas depending upon their counterparts.

They created malls so they could go shopping.
