See:
Do you disbelieve these statistics?
Could this be "Objective Example #3" that it is NOT true that "culture and societal norms play a massive role in moulding behaviour, and completely drown out the biological differences"?
Replace your word completely with say 50-60% and we would be closer to agreement about the situation today.
What about the future?
Men and women continue to gain ever greater control over their bodies via technology. We already see the impact birth control technology has. Now imagine technology to control your own "dimorphic temperament" (ie behavioral differences between men and women) or technology to genuinely change your sex or even migrate between bodies as you might switch cars today.
In such a future clearly "culture and societal norms play a massive role in moulding behaviour" because the "biological differences" that exist today will start to cease to exist. I think few can imagine how interesting that future might be much like African nomads from thousands of years ago could not imagine our reality today.
