All you matches can be from either the maternal or paternal side. The only caveat is that for men, matches on the X only come from their maternal side but for women, X matches can come from either side.

To be clear, you ARE saying in the article that my “3rd to 4th cousin”, etc. matches could be from either paternal side for me, correct?

Men could be as easily confused, but they aren’t looking for that information as they are genetically eligible for the Y chromosome test. “Maybe it’s just in our genetic profiles to be upset when we’re stereotyped” IS a stereotype, however. Being a woman myself, I find female gender roles hilariously absurd, and often find them heartily entertaining and laughable.
