A psychologist says a man's deepest desire is to be respected and a woman's deepest desire is to be loved, agree or disagree?

And if a man wants to be loved, he's considered effeminate, and if a woman wants respect, she's considered masculine.

I agree that this is how SOCIETY sees it, but I disagree that people should have their inner spirit be binned and slotted so arbitrarily based on what body parts they have. Everyone has their own inner agenda, and while this generalization may be the "norm" it is not absolute.

It is different for different people. Being a psychologist doesn't mean you have it figured out. For example, some people's deepest desire is a career goal/achievement and others desire to have children most not to be loved but to love or leave something behind when they die.

It's a generalization that may not apply universally

Maybe. It might be the other way around these days.
