No it has been bitterly disputed for a long time. Feminists have never liked “biological determinism” so there have been lots of efforts to debunk the idea that men and women have structural differences in the brain. Books have been written decrying the idea that men and women differ.

This study seems to be the first to have observed differences that not only predict gender but also predict intelligence based on differences in intelligence between genders.

Oh, so you're a sexist fuckwit, blaming imaginary "feminists" for everything?

I've literally sat in a talk by a feminist neuroscientist where she said there were hardly any differences between men and women's brains and people were obsessed with finding differences for bad reasons.
