What's still not clear, is the extent to which brain development is guided by nurture instead of nature.
I think that what studies so far have shown is that there is not a hard and fast line between the two.
the simple observation that people of a particular gender are more likely to be better at certain things, shouldn't lead to the presumption that therefore only someone of a given gender should be given a particular task
I believe that both are the case. I do beleive that there are some few roles that are tied to our gender. However, there are many more roles that our gender makes us more suitable for, but that are not determined by gender alone.
