You're not allowed to say anything ABOUT women, unless it's how strong, brave and empowered they are in the face of historical and modern day oppression. Anything short of that is misogyny because everyone knows women are sugar and spice and everything nice. They never lie, nor at a loss for words - always strong capable and independent. Just ignore those Post-It notes on their bathroom mirrors. Don't say ANYTHING ever about the Post-It notes.
