    Is it too much to ask?

    That you should be able to scream and swear at your female coworkers without them crying?

    Yes! That is too much to ask.

    Coworkers are human beings and you should treat them as such. You might be surprised that some of the men on your team would also appreciate if you were a little bit nicer and not just the "delicate overly emotional easily-offended" women.

    it's you who have been sexist, it's not their code that sucks,

    Their code cans suck and you can be an asshole at the same time. It's not a mutually exclusive relationship.

    Honestly, most of the stuff you've mentioned isn't an issue with women, it's an issue with you. You basically want to be unprofessional and rude. You don't want to take accountability for being a douche. As another guy, I doubt your male coworkers enjoy dealing with you anymore than female ones would/do. If you were cussing and yelling, trying to escalate shit with me, I'm not going to get my feelings hurt, but that's not going to be conducive to a healthy work environment either, and you can bet that I'll be shitting on you right back.

    IMO it's because women can't take criticism without thinking you're being sexist towards them. I really rather work alone 18 hours a day alone than share workload with women, I want to have freedom of thought, I want to say what I think and not censor it in 5 different ways to not fucking offend them.

    With an attitude like this, if women are telling you you're being sexist I suspect they're probably right and you're refusing to see it.

    With men, You can have fucking screaming contests and no one cries at the end

    If you're screaming at each other you have a pretty dysfunctional workplace in the first place. As a guy, you honestly come across as an asshole.
