Speculative thought: There may be a lot of things we think of as gendered which are actually universals with different gendered manifestations that prevent us from recognising their universal nature. The prompting example was "taking care of others" but I'm sure there are more.

I believe the confusion comes when folks don’t realize we ALL embody and are composed of the elements of all “genders” (ie, poles) if each trait. It’s a scale not a binary. And so folks get offended/defensive when they say nurturing is a “feminine” trait.

“Men can be feminine too” no shit! Ha theyre diff things. We are all ALL. And we are all DIFFERENT & we are all different things at different times. Doesn’t mean it’s not a “feminine” trait.

Seems coherent with men and women scoring differently on the components of conscientiousness but around the same on the global scale, didn't the same thing happen with other Big 5 traits and even IQ tests?

My understanding with IQ tests is that roughly the breakdown is: 1. Men and women average about the same on every component except verbal where women average higher. 2. Men might have higher variance but I'm never totally clear on how well established this is.
