This sounds like you did not look into the actual issues deeply. Why is it "obvious" that differences between women and men are biological? World history had such a truly extreme diversity of cultural norms, that to me the "obvious" fact is that socialization completely overrides biological instincts.

There are monks and nuns with 0 reproductive fitness, because they were socialized into a religion.

We eat hot spicy food, because we were told it is okay, despite it hurting and despite capsaicin explicitly evolved to not be eaten by mammals.

People starve to death, because of political protesting. People even set themselves on fire because of that.

So in short, our beliefs override our instincts.

You also haven't looked into the difference between Marxism as Marx meant it, and the absolute travesty that Lenin & co. made of it, if you don't immediately see a giant difference between Marxism and Marxism-Leninism, you have not looked deep enough into it. Marx absolutely wanted to keep capitalism until it reaches the post-scarcity stage.

And so on.
