I know you are frustrated by these questions, but are there biological differences in men and women that give them unique traits?

Testosterone is a hell of a drug.

Differences between men and women that are due to biology? Plenty of those. From muscle mass to hormone levels, there are plenty of things that are different, and given the number of things that are influenced by hormones in how we behave, it is preposterous to claim that somehow evolution stopped at the neck, especially when in addition, you know that there are differences in the way our brains are wired that make it possible to distinguish a typically male brain from a typically female brain. Which is also one of the reasons why there is such a thing as transgenderism : biology being messy, anything that has even a low chance of going wrong will sometimes go wrong, and you can therefore find people whose brain match a brain typical for the other kind of body that they have.

But if you want more on the behavioral differences between men and women, I can only recommand R. Sapolsky's "human behavioral biology" Playlist on stanford's YouTube channel

Anatomically, the differences are rather self evident, but my view is that Manhood and Womanhood transcend biology and in terms of personality and behavior, there's no difference that can be really attributed to bioessentialism

Don't forget most women have different bodies, to look at, to feel: softer, less muscular. Either because of biology, or because the vast majority of little children have a closer bond with their mother than with anyone else, most men prefer women to have around, to touch and to cuddle. For women the difference the other way round is not that big, even straight women sometimes prefer other women, except when it comes to sex. This gives men a social disadvantage, which has become bigger with socio-economic 'equality'. I don't want to turn the clock back, but this problem has to be acknowledged and affirmative action for women is the last thing we need.
