In that case it makes no sense to say men have female typical brains or women have male typical brains. Let's say women are on average 5'4, and a man is 5'4, nobody is going to say this man has a female typical height. I don't know where you're from, but in my country noone has ever said a short man has a female typical height. They will just say he's short or he has an atypical male height and that's it. But never a female typical height. If your conclusion is there is no such thing as a female brain or a male brain because the characteristics overlap, then it makes no sense to say a man with characteristics of the brain you see in women has a female typical brain, you're associating these characteristics with females only and saying the brains of men can not have similar characteristics, and whenever the brains of men have these similar characteristics, they all of a sudden have typical female brains and not male brains, which means there is such a thing as a female brain or a male brain. It's a semantics game, female typical brain is female brain, it means typical female brain. You're contradicting yourself 🤨

Aaaaa this is why I hate english, english leads to a lot of confusion because we can't express ourselves well in this language and have to go around in circles.
