I don't think anybody in their right mind is saying that. There are differences in different bodies that often manifest one way in women and the other in men¹ but that it is a lot more complicated than that, including that the binary male/female divide is not always sufficient³ and that environmental factors can have as much effect as the more easily analysed biological ones.

[1] particularly in the endocrine system, though in other parts too² including the nervous system
[2] it isn't just emotional matters and related coping mechanisms: heart attacks often manifest differently in women, or if not that then the signs are often misdiagnosed, for instance
[3] either for talking about specific detailed differences, or for identifying people in terms of their identity & phycological makeup more generally
