They're not, but they do have differences. Generally speaking, men are better with technical side of things, mechanics, cold logic. Women are better with social situations, emotions and similar.

How Men's Brains Are Wired Differently than Women's

Male brains have more connections within hemispheres to optimize motor skills, whereas female brains are more connected between hemispheres to combine analytical and intuitive thinking

That being said, brains are extremely plastic, so these are very far from neat categories.

I am not a physiologist or biologist and might be totally wrong.

But I think that first, we do know very little about how the brain really works.

Second, I believe that some behaviors, personality traits, IQ, creativity, feelings, they are influenced by many factors.

Some are inherent to the individual, like genetics, but others are a consequence of evolution, and evolution is influenced by social aspects.

For example, there could be a prevalence of certain behavior among some groups of people due to the conditions in which they have lived.

living organism evolve to survive and adapt, and that is eventually passed to future generations.

Women historically had very few rights, they were there just to procreate and be a good wife, that conditioned their psyche through many generations, limited their choice and they adapted, not only psychologically and I believe that could have influenced how their brain was wired.

But my point is that intrinsically, brains are brains, whether male or female, there might be a prevalence of some type of wiring for one or the other but I think those differences are tending to narrow, and that's driven by social events that are slowly influencing the way women think and the way men think about women.

We can test these things in an extremely simple ways, however. You don't need to know "how brain really works" to see if person X is better at mechanical tasks and person Y at emotional...

As I pointed out...

But you cannot really say that something is "inherent" and something "social". All behaviors humans have are essentially a combination of biological, enivornmental and sociological factors - and these three groups of factors also all affect each other as well.

Women historically had very few rights, they were there just to procreate and be a good wife, that conditioned their psyche through many generations, limited their choice and they adapted, not only psychologically and I believe that could have influenced how their brain was wired.

Not really, unless you are talking about very specific circumstances such as Islam. Medieval (particularly Viking) women didn't have that fewer rights when compared to modern-day women for example.

In part, yes, but not exclusively.
