That's fine. I can agree with some of that. The problem gets to be when you start ascribing certain personality traits on the basis of gender because doing so can be demeaning and disempowering to all genders, such as saying things like "women really like talking about themselves" or "women are more emotional than men." It's essentialism at its finest.
