Skyler is Marie's sister though, and I don't think he's attentive enough to her to know what she wants of Walter. It's more about himself and his precious masculine / jock identity

Ah, yes, I forgot it was that instead of the other way. But Hank definitely takes it to heart that as his sister-in-law he kind of takes on that role. Perhaps it's a bit more of a patriarchal assumption, but it's true he's not really attentive and makes blind assumptions about what she really wants.

I don't think he thinks that far honestly! From my read, he just sees Walt as a weaker man that he has to coach / bully into manning up cuz that's what you do

Hank is definitely rather sexist and that's one of his blind spots, he at least thinks about what's going on internally with both Walt and Junior, but he's blithely unconcerned and makes assumptions about both Skyler and Marie as if they're just simple feminine stereotypes, "what women want."

I can't recall a single instance of Hank talking about what Skyler, Marie, or any woman for that matter wants

I can't recall him engaging with the concept of any woman wanting things, in fact
