Hah hah, as a feminist it's my goal to make them as similar as possible, but denying that in the real world societies discriminate is not only ignorant, it's harmful to the cause of equality :/
Plus, barring some biotechnological breakthrough, there's the basic biology to worry about. Much of the so-called "hardwired" brain differences are socialization, bunk, and humbug, but female still get pregnant, get periods, etc., and men get prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction. You want to write about a character who's had an abortion? Guess what! You're going to have to write about a person who is, at least biologically, female.
Our collective humanity it undeniable, but to deny the sexism present in our society is to deny everything feminism has accomplished :/ And to deny males their own unique experiences as a result of this sexism as well.
