.....has become a political hot-potato.
Sigmund Freud claimed to have a wonderful understanding of psychology and yet he confessed to being totally flummoxed on 'what women actually want'..... Part of Freud's analysis was a declaration that women seem to keep changing their mind.
Psychology/Sociology/History/ideology/religion/spending-statistics/ etc.....all attempt to answer the question. The behaviours of women born with great wealth (and not much responsibility) often gives a few pointers - to what they really want.
We all know the 'Reality TV' story of the gang of women dropped onto a desert island, and meanwhile a gang of men were dropped onto the neighbouring desert island.....different outcomes, different story on each island.
The behaviours of women, in a women's prison, is radically different to that of men in a men's prison. So clearly the question, in the OP, does need addressing.
With all that variance out there, maybe the question cannot ever be answered ?

What men want has mostly been easy to understand and to document. The average man, that is.....
- enough food in his belly, & beer at the weekend.
- an acceptable amount of recreation in his underpants...with or without offspring.
- an harmonious family life & strong longterm bonds.
- a roof over his head, a vehicle to drive
- good relationships with all & sundry
- his football team having won their most recent game etc etc....
for a reasonable subset of men , you can add
- climbing the pyramid of society & the workplace
- winning, at the cost of peers losing. Football or otherwise.
And yet we all know people who eschew all of the above. Some men and certainly some women ?
So, help us with your opinions, to answer the question in the OP

What Women Want — Labour Together
In advanced democracies across the world, the last forty years have seen women move left, shifting their support from conservative to progressive parties. One country, however, proved an exception.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is a motivational theory in psychology proposed by Abraham Maslow. It organizes human needs into five levels: physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. Often visualized as a pyramid, this hierarchy suggests that human motivation...
