They presuppose that if there is an evolutionary explanation for gender rules it's genetic rather than cultural.

I don't see that presupposition. They don't mention any differentiation between 'genetic' vs 'cultural' explanations. I think you are reading that into the use of the terms 'innate' and 'natural'.

Ah yes, the Y chromosome is indeed a culturally manifested construct. Good point.
