Upvoting is not sufficient given the very difference perspectives in the comments here.
I read the above article and nodded along the way thinking ‘this is insightful and adds a great context to discuss and think about many industrious relationships’ never once did gender cross my mind. I was floored to see it a major item in the comments.
I am male. I have high testosterone. I love competing and winning. I am ambitious and driven. I like to make a lot of money. I make a lot of money. I prefer the sidekick role.
And what is your take on the A-Teamist Face-Planner team structure? Do you see it as similar to the Hero-Sidekick structure as described by Swimmer963? How about the 007-Q relationship?
There are too many fictional examples in this discussion, any non-anecdotal real life case studies?
Developing a full-blown classification of relationship types here seems to be a tad excessive :-) Let me just point out that the leader-peon type (see e.g. this) is not quite the same thing as the hero-sidekick type.
In real life I, for example, have zero desire to be either a hero or a sidekick. Accordingly, none of my relationships, either work or personal, can be described as hero-sidekick ones.

Ditto. I’ve never identified as subservient, but my entire career I’ve found leaders to work for whose skill set I could compliment. I saw this as an issue of too many cooks ruin the stew and too many chiefs, not enough indians.
To sum this up, I think the Sidekick role is a matter of effective team building and is as far from gender as anything else in the world.
Any links to discussions on this item elsewhere? As some rationalist said, two rationalists with the same info can’t help but agree.
...given some assumptions about the mathematical structure of argument that probably don’t hold for humans, rationalist or otherwise.
Aumann is a remarkable result in many ways, but it’s not one that neatly lends itself to social engineering.
I think that the hero-sidekick framework is just wrong for most kinds of relationships.
