Unless I am hearing it from a doctor, the vast majority of the time the argument is brought up, it is by men or women trying to defend the old way of doing things. For guys, it's usually in business and career. For girls, it's usually in dating. Because it has to do with who had advantage/disadvantage in each situation.
I have used the argument myself. Generally in defending the idea that, given total agency, equality, and freedom, people will still make different career choices that have different pay and life balances, and trying to eliminate those differences is tantamount to erasure. That is still, in essence, defending an "old way" of sorts.
We can’t ignore the fact that biologically, men and women are different, but we can ignore arguments that link such biological differences to social differences between men and women.
