"Gals Are Not Ready To Learn This"
Contrary to Regressive, Marxist 'pravda', differences between the two sexes are much more than "social constructs~conditioning"; they really are biological and not just the genes, "X" or "Y", but also the hormonal interactions with those genes, starting early on in the womb.
Brain and genitalia are two early organs that develop mutually and interactively and "XX" or "XY" also depend upon the hormones produced(estrogen and testosterone) and interacted with for optimal growth and development into a typical male or female. The difference in corpus callosum mentioned above (in #2) are just a part of the growing differences. Different parts of male and female brains control different functions and tasks. This was mostly learned in recent decades as women began to have more brain injuries AND such were better studied by medical profession. Injury to a brain area that might affect male speech capacity doesn't do the same in females, and visa-versa.
Note we are considering "typical" (usual, average) male vs female. Consider two bell curves on same chart, female at left end, male at right end, both curves offset with their peaks closer to one end or the other. Much overlaps, to some varied degree, but also much off to it's own side.
Bottom line, it's not just "plumbing", but also brains hardwired to one sex or the other in many ways. A century's + of research, which included many mammals as well as humans, determined this general rule of biology such that it isn't only humans that show "Male are from Mars, Female are from Venus"; presented in this book from about 35 years ago;

Why can't a woman be more like a man? What is this thing called "feminine intuition"? Why are men better at reading maps, and women at other people's characters? The answers lie in the basic biological differences between the male and female brain, which, say the authors, make it impossible for the sexes to share equal emotional or intellectual qualities.

If men and women are equal, why have males been the dominant sex virtually throughout history? Here, geneticist Moir and BBC- TV writer-producer Jessel argue convincingly that the answer lies in the difference between the male and female brain. Writing with clarity and style, and documenting their data every step of the way, Moir and Jessel explain how the embryonic brain is shaped as either male or female at about six weeks, when the male fetus begins producing hormones that organize its brain's neural networks into a male pattern; in their absence, the brain will be female. Not surprisingly, there are endless variations in degree of maleness, and mishaps can lead to a male brain in a female body and vice versa. Moir and Jessel include a brain sex test that lets the reader discover just how masculine or feminine his (or her) brain is. For the nonscientist, they translate considerable research into the structural and organizational differences between male and female brains, demonstrating how these differences make men more aggressive and competitive and better at skills that require spatial ability and mathematical reasoning, and women more sensitive to nuances of expression and gesture, more adept at judging character. Women, it seems, are more people-oriented than men, who are more interested in things. Moir and Jessel assert that it is necessary to ``accept who we are before arguing about what we should be,'' and that denying gender differences means ignoring their value. A literate, entertaining, and, for some, surely wrath- provoking presentation of scientific data about the differences between the sexes.
