Fine, but in all this we've become derailed. What is your empirical argument against JP's statement? Is there one or is it ethical?

That's kind of an overstatement. There is a diversity of approaches towards empirical study of cognitive differences related to gender
-
What I meant is that how the question is phrased 'what causes sex (=m/f) differences?' presupposes a binary notion of gender (male, female).
-
True, it does and that's a concern.
-
Also, if one starts with this binary f/m notion, risk is that one is naturally led to see all deviations from it as pathology, rather than
-
... as natural diversity which is actually empirical evidence against the binary f/m notion one started with.
