If I point out that women tend to have better language processing skills, does that make me a sexist. No, of course not. Any time I compliment the female gender, or bash the male gender, you're ok with that. But if I dare to suggest that maybe there might be one tiny little thing that's good about men, you're offended and you call me sexist. I find that troubling.
That's the societal norm, unfortunately. It's called misandry.
