While women have the hardware which allows them to become pregnant. Men tend to be taller on average and perform better in most athletic endeavors, except for long-distance swimming. Women tend to perform better in this category because their bodies are more buoyant.
From a psychological point of view a woman's body will, on average, produce more estrogen than testosterone. For men it is the other way round. Do these chemicals have no affect on our brain or the kinds of choices that we are likely to make?
Again, you are avoiding the answer. None of that tells us what people should do, what jobs they should work, what roles in society they should have, what they should wear, etc.

Wrong. There is no manuscript tradition. The manuscripts were copied by monks in medieval times, but all those centuries before, it is not known who copied them and under which conditions.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
