I call bullshit. I don't think the interpretation of the study by this author has anything to do with non-verbal communication at all.
The following passage gives away the agenda....

The results help to tease out the underlying causes of guys' flirt-or-not mistakes. One common explanation for reports of men taking a friendly gesture as "she wants me," is based on men's inherent interest in sex, which is thought to result from their biology as well as their upbringing.
Following this idea, men and women would be aware of the same behavioral cues, but men would have a lower threshold for what qualifies as sexual interest. In contrast, women would wait for compelling evidence before labeling a behavior as sexual interest.
However, Farris and her colleagues didn't find this to be the case. ........
"I would say that there are many factors that could relate to men demonstrating insensitivity to women's subtle non-verbal cues," said Pamela McAuslan, associate professor of psychology at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, who was not involved in the current study. These factors would include socialization, gender roles and gender stereotypes, she said.

Anyone who has spent any amount of time around feminists know that gender as a social construct instead of a biological instinct is a pillar of modern feminism thought.
Oh no, they're using science to justify a political ideology!
Jam it back in, in the dark.
