Interesting

The reason it's interesting is that while it demonstrates difference, it's in that difference that we can best understand the human condition particularly in issues relating to religion, superstition and spirituality where on average there are marked differences in sex, more heightened in autistic spectrum males for example.

Yes that would make sense. The gender divide in religion is quite clear. Even within sects, I've noticed men and women tend to prefer different styles.

and it's all down to hormonal changes at puberty it seems

'Male and female brains showed few differences in connectivity up to the age of 13, but became more differentiated in 14- to 17-year-olds.'

...or maybe it's the lingering effect of socialization. The way our neuronal connections are reinforced or instead decay is highly dependent on what we do with them, and thus by our life experiences.

If socialization was the main cause for this, we should expect differences to show up earlier than puberty because people enforce gender norms looooonnng before puberty. Changes suddenly popping up in puberty suggest a biological cause.
