whats really funny to me is people make this claim, but any good study that looks for differences finds none or that women are very slightly better at math and spatial reasoning

Wait you’re telling me that women are better? So that differences between the sexes exist?

No, the point is that there isn’t, and experiments that do show a slight difference are probably due to experimental error, biases, sampling differences, etc.
Simply being either a man or woman does not make you better than another.

That is just wrong though. There have been plenty of reputable studies with good methodology that do show differences between the sexes.
That does not mean that one or the other is better in general, it means women and men complement each other.
It also doesn’t mean that these innate advantages/disadvantages at certain tasks are significant enough so they are impossible to overcome, there are plenty of men good at communicating or whatever, even though women are generally slightly better at it, and so on.

Yes, because of hormone shenanigans, in some physical tasks, men tend to do slightly better than women. But as you said, these differences do not mean that men are inherently “better” than women. Additionally, the discussion was around mathematics and reasoning skills, in which there isn’t too much of a difference between men and women.
This reads like you believe that “women are dependent on men” and that you are against same-sex relationships. I hope that’s not your intention.
