Does this theory (or parts of it) seem true to you?

The theory would be truer if it were weaker. I'm pretty sure most feminists believe that some gender differences are due to biology and most "manosphere" types don't think all gender differences are fully biological.

Also I think the "normal-reasonable-person-ism" is not "we're not sure yet." On the contrary, we have overwhelming evidence biology and culture both play a role in observed sex differences.

Having said this, I think the main disagreement between feminists and manospheroids is not about facts but about values.
