The genesis of sexist remarks

I have been following closely the political battle between Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator Barak Obama; and while reading some interesting articles on CNN there was one that caught my attention “Is sexism less offensive than racism in Politics?”
This question, although extremely important, diverted my thoughts to another interrogation: why do people make sexist remarks?

Humans have the tendency to annoy those who show annoyance before their words and actions. It is highly known that women are the main targets of sexism (men are too, but since they react differently, the chances of becoming a strong target decrease), but from what I have observed this occurs because women are too sensitive about it, they feel insulted by mere words (and like Depeche Mode sang “words are meaningless and forgettable”), they empower sexists instead of using their brain to analyse the cause of this kinky need to utter sexist garbage…

Generally speaking, men often accuse women of being complicated, of over criticising, of never being happy, of being emotional, of gossiping…to name a few. On the other hand women accuse men of not being sensitive to their moods and feelings, of not communicating enough, of not sharing feelings and thoughts, of being disorganised etc.
I have been witnessing some other interesting “accusations” that I’d like to comment:

Most men go against what their wives tell them, why? Perhaps because they’ve been mistreated, or pressed, by women during their upbringing. But does this give them the right to punish their spouses (by unbalancing the relationship)?

Most women aggravate themselves over a misplaced pair of socks, or whatever, how come? They know that men are like that, they will never change; so why scream like a lunatic instead of reminding them to put the socks (or whatever) in the proper place?

Many men wash their hands in the kitchen; I wonder why… Perhaps they do it on purpose to annoy women; because if they find the sink clean, dry why leave it dirty and wet all over it…why must men try to prove that they are perfect swines?

The majority of women do not have the sense of timing during a quarrel (that is, they don’t know how to quit while they’re ahead), what is the possible reason for this? Maybe it is a way of punishing their fathers (who used to scream at them for anything and nothing, and since they didn’t have the courage to defy the patrio-poter, they take it out on men).

I have recently found out that men like to gossip; who on earth gave them that right? Gossiping is not their prerogative: men do not know how to gossip for the simple fact that they add vulgarity to the “facts”; they don’t know that when women gossip they are cleaning their liver, and not procuring self-gratification.

Most women are not loyal to their own gender, why? Perhaps because they feel that backstabbing other women proves them to be as rough as men, but how mistaken they are…! When it comes to fellowship men are a thousand times more enlightened than women: they defend each other, they honour the gentleman’s code without blinking an eye. As for most women, they break all the codes upon each PMS crisis…[so sad].

Many men/women are mocked for being poor sexual performers, but then why don’t those mockery activists, teach them how to provide satisfaction? I tell you why: they have taboos about sex, about their own body needs, about menstruation, precocious ejaculation, orgasms (or lack of it)…

And these taboos are the genesis of sexist remarks…
