Well, the events that are the same are: Floor Exercise, and Vault.

Women do not do the rings or pommel horse because it requires a great deal of strength. Men do not do the Uneven bars because it is hard on their anatomy (having different reproductive parts) to maneuver between bars (high bar and low bar) like the women can. So they stick to the one high bar. Men do not compete on balance beam because a mans sense of balance isn't as good as the females sense of balance. (and it takes more grace to be on the balance beam)

I think the reason the women's gymnastics are accompanied by music is because they have a section in their routines that include dance moves. This is mandatory for women but not for men,so in order for the judges to recognize "dance" seqences during each routine there is music and the moves need to "fit" the music.

# well for one reason men and women have different body stretchers so what you are saying now is like asking a women to grow Ab's men have more mules then women and both men and women are not equal some things men can do that women can not do and there are some things woman can do and man can do so see it is all about the body stretcher and how you are made and what you can do with that.
