This is the problem that I have with what Andrei said. Andrei is a chill dude but I've noticed that he really likes to call out certain behaviors that "females" display that he finds unsavory. "Females" are half of the population of the human race and if every single one of them displays a certain characteristic besides vaginas (which vary greatly), then I will eat my left tit. Andrei likes to stereotype and dehumanize women based on their gender and he partakes in this kind of humor quite a bit, which annoys me. I didn't browse the site very thoroughly and I'm sure it's not that bad but Andrei's attitude is very clear and that is the main cause for the outrage.
You summed it up to a t.

I know that all women aren't the same. There are just certain things that bug me from time to time that I talk about.
Yes but saying 'female' gives the sexist undertone whether you say majority, few or not.
