Yes, I guess this is where the evidence on both sides need to come in: whether it's just semantics or not.
And I still think that such flagrant generalizations are harmful. We had the same type of BS with "women are bad drivers", "women are bad at STEM", "women only want to marry" and so on. It is as if some authors want to deliberately pigeonhole groups of people, just to sell more books...
The 90% is a stretch I think. This is just a cartoonish view of men. Also one has to keep inherent biases in mind when talking about social issues. Say you have a group of people, about 60% of which like the colour purple. Chances are that most of the other 40% will say they like the colour purple, just to fit in the group. Show them movies where all the heroes like the colour purple, make all the celebrities profess their love the colour purple and 99% of the group will say they adore purple.
But that won't be true.
