Why are the best cubers male? Because of physical genes? Then why are the best chess players, poker players etc male?
Men and women do not have identical brains
I don't understand your point in your first paragraph? Can you please rephrase?
I agree that men and women do not have identical brains. However, I think that cultural pressures and interest in other things are why there are not more women at the top of speedcubing than there are currently.
It is true that more men/boys practice cubing than women/girls. You cannot conclude from that that men/boys are more capable of being great at cubing than women/girls. The most you can conclude from the observation is that more men/boys practice cubing than women/girls.
My argument for this being the status quo is not that women/girls are somehow less capable of cubing greatness, but rather than men/boys as a general rule are more interested in putting forth the effort to pursue cubing greatness. Just because there are "fewer" women in cubing who are great does not mean that women/girls have a reduced capability to be great as compared to men/boys.
