Yes and Didier Drogba gives weekly lessons.

In all seriousness, the players think that once they feel any contact they should go down and try and get a free kick or penalty. They are not taught to do, but maybe told to and some players are better and more frequent at it that others. Referees are clamping down on what is called 'simulation' which is essentially diving, with a yellow card the usual punishment.

Are men soccer players better then women soccer players?

In general they are, and by some distance. The top womens football team would not compete with the top male one. The goalkeeping, in particular, is far below the standard of the male game, and women are naturally weaker than men. true- there is a difference in the style of play though. women tend to take their time and think through their decisions more than men. men play the ball 1 or 2 touch. No you dumbanus women play better soccer than men do and u can kiss my anus.
