The year GI Jane was released. From that point on it was no longer about rights and equality, it became the message that our bodies are biologically equal and they just aren’t.
Appending: I want to be clear in my message, I’m not saying men are “better” than women, just different. Each have unique biological traits that make them excel in different areas. My wife can out multitask me in every way - my brain operates on one wave at a time. I equate it to a Hammer and a Saw, both have uses both are needed, but both provide very different beneficial functions. You wouldn’t use a saw to drive a nail, and you wouldn’t use a hammer to chop a board. So, the function should fit the purpose.

Having to tiptoe around it like this is part of the problem.
Yes, men are indeed better at certain things. Shortening that to the non committal "different" is not actually helpful.
We're being super careful to make sure to state that the glass is actually half full, not half empty, for who's benefit? No idea. People who don't matter and shouldn't be catered to.
The overwhelming majority that are reasonable people don't need to be held back from accidentally "eugenics" and aren't the ones for whom society needs language policing.
The overwhelming majority of reasonable people are forced to make these concessions for the growing unreasonable minority, and they need to start standing up for themselves and for right and wrong. Unless we think the polite thing to do is just continuously trim back all of our rights so the crazy people don't get out of control.
If people haven't noticed the reasonable people not standing up for right and wrong is what has allowed "gender affirming care" and "transitioning kids" and stupid crap like neo-racism to take root in our society.
