Yes I think so. I don't know exactly what "glozing" means but it seems to
me that "glozing neuters" are the passive, ambivalent types.
"Wear-the-pantsers" are the doers. "I wear the pants in this relationship!"
implying you have taken the masculine, active role though not necessarily
male.

That's my impression of it anyway.
