Particularly interesting that whilst women were more that twice as likely to report being very upset, no gap in negative life impacts.

I wonder if 'upset feelings' could be measured objectively, how much difference there would be. Probably some.

But how much comes down to a gendered difference in willingness to admit to feeling upset? Even to oneself.

And whether 'upset' itself has gendered connotations. I have seen it used in the US to include a wider range of emotions than in the UK

I see it used to include angry as well as tearful, shaken, sad, distressed more in the US. And it is a US study.

But if we see the sentence 'The way s/he spoke to me really upset me', do we imagine this to be more likely to come from a man or a woman?

In my experience, it would be much more likely to be a woman whilst a man more likely to choose 'tougher' words. Pissed me off. Got to me.

I'm certainly concerned about current feminist 'victim' narratives but doubt this difference primarily a feminism-induced cultural construct

Mostly from other men, of course. The workplace is largely combative, thought not necessarily harmful. Butt heads, move on. Nothing personal

That's not a cultural construct either. Its a manifestation of the same gender difference.
