You mean evolutionary psychology, not biology. The former is basically a pseudoscience and the latter makes no such claims.

I'm not even saying this is an established scientific claim, only that it would be really weird if the statistical differences between men and women were 100% outside of the brain, given how different the evolutionary pressures are.
Evolutionary psychology does have some problems :) It's easy to tell dazzling and believable stories in that frame, but much harder to prove them empirically.
I think some real science is being done in the field, but I agree that when people make EP arguments on the internet, you need to apply a lot of skepticism.
