It's a super sexist comment. A comment born in the 60s, or I guess in our geek land, still in 2025.
Yes - why are these adjectives even coming up at all? There are alternatives that would probably make your point in a succinct manner without being sexist.
Yeah I think it’s fair to say that in many circumstances people would use masculine as a pejorative and not get called out for being sexist. There’s some historic power imbalance stuff at play there, but it’s still sexist.
If you have problems with some type of behaviour it’s much better to say exactly what they are rather than appealing to some platonic notion of sex characteristics, which is both offensive and poorly communicates your position.
Buddy, you used the word "feminine" as a pejorative. That demonstrates a profound disrespect for women in general.
You really can't pick up on your own casual sexism? That's just evidence that this kind of anti-woman "femininity=weakness" language comes naturally to you.
Given this response, I would retract the accusation that you made a sexist statement, and instead conclude that you are a sexist person.
Personal attacks will get you banned here, and you did it more than once. No more of this, please, regardless of how wrong someone is or you feel they are.
