Feminists have often claimed that gender differences are not innate, let alone God-given. They do this to bolster their argument that men and women should be treated the same in society regardless of differences.  And yet this is not always the case, especially when it favors women.  For instance studies that show that men have more violent impulses than women are taken at face value.
