I can relate more to you than to the author of the article (though I think it's a good article).
At one point in my life, my dislike of being told what girls should be translated into always vehemently stating that I "hated" girly things (like the color pink, etc.). I wouldn't even try out things to find out if I actually disliked them, because I was dedicated to "not being girly."
It was only in college that I loosened up about it. Right now, my mindset is if I'm comfortable in it/I like it, be it clothes or hobbies or whatever, I don't care what gender it's "for." I just don't like being dictated to.
