Hmmm. Some of this seems dubious. What does “tough-minded” mean in the Scientific American review? As for the personality guessing, isn’t there a confounding factor that people are likely report and self-report women as more “warm”, “sensitive,” “anxious”, “friendly” etc than men BECAUSE we culturally think they are that? How often do you hear a man described as warm, sensitive or anxious vs women?
