Right on the money. This was established fact back in 2009 (https://www.shrm.org/hr-today/public-policy/hr-public-policy...). Evidence has only become stronger over the years.

Unfortunately certain activists continue to argue that there are no innate behavioural differences between men and women at the social level.

Unfortunately social differences cannot be controled for differences in socialization. People instead reach for essentialism as an explanatory model. Essentialism is a rationalization not an explanation that better falls under the umbrella of reifications than as real and true knowledge.
Whether these differences are genetic or socialized or some combination of the two is not relevant.
Agreed, and parent would do well to avoid framing these differences as innate since it is not relevant.
