I think the differences between men and women are more subtle and complex than we think and the more striking differences are simply personality differences, irrespective of gender.

The article was referring to stereotypes that most people appear to operate on, but certainly not all. No way is it universal, nor does the article claim that, and I'm guessing you don't think the articles claiming that either... So I'm curious what precisely you mean. Do you mean to say that these stereotypes are false and don't, in fact, reflect a large segment of the population? Any way you can elaborate, or toss examples?

And I think there are subconscious (and sometimes conscious) resentments and competitive urges between the sexes that make us want to pinpoint differences and give them a negative curve based on gender. I've seen this in myself. I think it's probably true to large extent.

I totally think you're on to something there. Agreed. Bias and insecurities color everything.
