You know this doesn't mean I like you!

-chan is cutsey and familiar, so it gets used for little kids and sweethearts. -kun is for older kids/teenagers and people you grew up with (not unusual to hear two older guys still referring to each other as -kun 'cause they are friends from highschool. -san is general usage, pretty much everyone who has not given you permission to use your direct name should get this. -dono is old fashioned, but used for senior executives or old-money folks. -sama is pretty much reserved for the highest of the high, it'll never be used unless you are speaking to royalty or divinity.

They are all unisex, anon baka-chan.

They're all technically unisex, but in practice -kun is usually for boys, unless it's your female subordinate in a company or something.

I lived in Japan for a few years and heard -kun for women, too. I don't claim to be an expert, but I get the sense that "-kun is for boys, -chan is for girls" is very simplified, for the sake of Japanese 101 classes.

I'll defer to your experience, then. I was only there for a year.

I know that used to be true, but I've seen -kun getting used a lot for young women too now. It seems to be catching on, but yeah, in general for older characters and older works, it should be kept more for the male characters.
