The article starts with a typical language exercise that she "burrowed" from someone else and then immediately, wallowing in the effect of how much "sense" she makes, started spewing out outdated notions of masculinity and femininity. It perpetuates stereotypes that do much worse for communication between genders than what the supposedly learned article on linguisitic inclinations.

To recognize some of these generalized gender differences is a shorthand to help contextual understand things, though you seem to take it as a command to continue bad patterns of sexually stereotyped behavior. That approach solves nothing for anybody, however, and does little more than throw hands in the air saying, "Well, what can you do? Everyone is different." That's pointless and completely unhelpful.
And to deny these generalized sexual differences exist may make you feel better about equality, but you're also putting your head in the sand. Just wishing that it doesn't exist doesn't make it conveniently go away.
