I had the same initial reaction, as I really detest too-”meaningful” language; however, I have to say that when I read the entire article, I was very impressed with the author’s evenhanded treatment of the topic. I think his research brought out some really important, but very deeply buried, insights.

There may well be a true affective complementarity between males and females which can be generalized across cultures, but I'm not sure what it would be.

Nor am I sure that affective gender differences overwhelm individual temperaments. For instance: a particular emotionally spontaneous, expressive man may be more emotive than a particular reserved or stoical woman.

I am uncomfortable with calling that genderqueer or gender-variant or gender-anything. It's a matter of individual temperament and, often, culture.
