I'm going to try to address some of your catagories, and let you know how this woman feels about them.
My kids, heck yeah, I have two wonderful adult children, a daughter and son who I absolutely love to talk and brag about. And I'll even throw in conversation about my wonderful son-in-law, who I now consider one of my kids. Actually, most good fathers that I know love to talk about their kids as well.
Clothes, and shopping bore me to tears. Pop music is just another form of music. I love most all types of music. As far as feeling go, I will only talk about mine, as a rule, to ones who share theirs with me.
The other things you mention, I guess you consider "guy things". What about sports? I would rather watch a good football game than a Lifetime movie (although my fiance called me on that one yesterday, I've had the flu, and in my cold medicine induced haze, had a movie on when the Superbowl started). I quickly came out of it, and enjoyed the rest of the game.
I guess I'm trying to figure out, what's your point?
None really, just stirring a little controversy and giving a hint to the type of woman that has trouble getting men to listen to her. And the article makes clear there are a lot of them.
I seriously doubt that was ever your problem.
