If you have kids, boys and girls, expose them and offer them equal opportunities in various domains, it is beyond obvious that we are different, yes, including in the brain. To me the idea of labeling this conclusion as sexist is simply laughable because any parent who is a neutral and honest observer knows the truth. I have a simple example of this. Two of my kids, boy and girl, one year apart. They go to school together, play together all the time, we fish, kayak, do martial arts, build stuff and do everything together. I introduced both of them to Solidworks Apps for Kids (great fun!). I setup their accounts on their computers and also setup a link to a YouTube playlist with tutorials for them to learn the software. I told them to watch all the videos and start doing as they learned. They did. She very quickly levitated towards making pretty things and surface-painting. He very quickly went towards making more mechanical things and completely ignored making them pretty through painting. She wants to 3D print flowers and puppies. He wants to 3D print robots, tanks, tools, etc. No influence whatsoever on my part. This summer they each built beautiful replicas of famous world buildings (check out Machitecture on Amazon, it's great). They both loved it despite the hard work it entailed. I realize this is a single data point but if you talk to other parents and simply observe reality it is easy to conclude there are differences and they are not subtle. None of this is to say men and women can't excel at the same things. Not at all. However, pretending we are exact clones of each other would fail to reflect reality as well as provide opportunities to use our differences to deliver better outcomes. Psychologist have studied this in depth. The big five personality traits (Extroversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, Openness to experience) have been quantified and "fingerprinted" across wide populations. The conclusions are inescapable, we are not the same and we don't think or relate to the world in the same ways. And that's a good thing.
