He didn't call it an exception but tomboys are still an exception.
Besides, I never said everyone fit in pigeon holes or that we should judge people according to their background, sex or culture but only a fool would believe these wouldn't help shape a person and it helps a long way to understand why someone behaves in a certain way. Understanding where someone comes from is better than being puzzled and finding a wall of questions when dealing with people. If anything, accepting that many people share similar needs & wants helps you to get closer to them and to get better along with them by making it either for you to feel empathy (something which is a lot harder to do when you don't know why someone behaves the way they do).
To give a simple example: people who grow up in religious areas tend to take religion more serious than people growing up in West-European countries.
