   According to widely accepted contemporary correct-thinking dogma it's   
   all but impossible for a woman to be sexist when she generalizes about   
   men.   
      
   That's because, according to this mythology, men are generally   
   reprobates.  Anything you say about them is probably true.  And even if   
   it's not true specifically, it almost certainly is overall.  So it's   
   okay to say things about men that if they were said about women would   
   get one thrown into a metaphorical feminist gulag.   
      
   The idea that Kitty saying, "That is the mistake that men make all the   
   time" might be a little bit sexist is simply flying over the heads of   
   Kitty and NiP.   
      
   They can't believe it's even a little bit off kilter for a woman to   
   generalize like that.   
      
   That's the world they have built around themselves.
