It does not follow logically that just because men and women are biologically different that those differences are necessarily significant with regard to career distributions.

It does follow that we should not expect them to be the same.

Not necessarily (based solely on the axiom that men and women have different brain chemistry).

It is logically possible that the differences we observe in career distributions are more heavily influenced by other factors besides differences in brain chemistry.

For a strict enough definition of "the same", your statement is meaninglessly apodictic.

Maybe, but it certainly doesn't follow that career preferences are the same or that culture is the primary driver for career distributions. Never mind that culture is a function of biology.
