From what I've read, the evidence for biologically different brains is ambiguous. I'm only going on Cordelia Fine's 'Delusions of Gender' and 'Testosterone Rex', I haven't read anything peer reviewed or anything. They are worth a look, if you're interested in that field

Where's u/thrwpllw, is she here yet?

She was the go-to person for brain studies on Reddit. I think she's a neuroscientist.

For me the question is what exactly the differences imply, or don't imply. Some women seem to believe that a biological difference would somehow mean women do not deserve to have equal rights and opportunities. Different doesn't mean inferior, even if that's what men have been telling us. Women are an essential, needed part of human society just as much as men are either way. There's no need to deny science in order to demand better treatment for us. There's no need to believe any theory about anything in order to believe women's rights are important. Women who claim to be feminist shouldn't try to police what other women believe. We're on the same side about the things that matter.

Yeah that's true. I just found it interesting that the science of our biological differences is ambiguous.
