Last time I checked the literature on sexual dimorphism in the human
brain, the consensus seemed to be that: (1) the similarities between
men's and women's brain dwarf the differences, (2) the differences are
only apparent when *groups* of brains are compared, because they're
really differences in means, with considerable overlap, and (3) the
differences have never been demonstrated in the brains of fetuses or
young children, so there's no evidence that they reflect genetically
programmed "wiring" rather than cultural influences on plasticity.
