I like the last paragraph, but you've lost me now - mainly because I've never denied that biology is the cause of these things. I totally accept that biology explains our physical characteristics, as well as our predisposition for certain behaviours, but that we're not defined by biology in terms of our role in society - the traditional assumption that there are jobs/roles that women can't do, that they should stay at home and look after the family, or that women are somehow intellectually inferior does not apply.
Put it this way - I'm never going to be able to give birth, but I do want to be involved in raising my kids, so may take on a "traditional" female gender role in staying at home to look after them.
