I recommend first reviewing the methods of any study making bold, universal claims. This one relies on self reporting surveys. We know that stated behaviors (and preferences) vary from revealed behaviors.
Don’t trust surveys or polls.

From this we get an article that claims to know truths about all men and women, everywhere on earth.

I see a lot of comments here amounting to “well obviously, everyone has known this for centuries”. But none of us have been alive for centuries or across many cultures. The way the culture we live in represents history informs our biases, and may not be accurate. In fact it can serve the status quo to suggest that the way things are now “have always been this way” regardless of the veracity of these claims.
