There's a lot wrong with the screed, but its use of "neurotic" is being overplayed. It's clearly not being used in either a clinical diagnosis or pop-culture sense. Rather, it's a reference to the "five factor" personality model, in which "neuroticism" is not an unqualified negative. Also, to the extent that it is a negative and is more prevalent among women, it's likely to be a social construct for which we should correct, not (as the echo-chamber author) an immutable fact that we should use as an excuse for inaction.
