But you still haven't explained why the view in question is chauvinistic.

Because his original comment, which he prefaced by saying "Call me a chauvanist pig but..." said that female officers should't guard male prisoners. Making a generalized statement like that I think is chauvanistic...it's always easy to look back on a situation and say "shoulda, woulda, coulda"...and if this tragedy hadn't happened today we wouldn't even be having this conversation. But it did happen, and it makes me rethink the fact that a violent rapist was being guarded by a woman who was clearly smaller and unable to properly defend herself. Maybe if she was 6 foot tall and a body builder I'd have a different view point, but at this time, in my opinion, having that woman guard him was a mistake. Notice that I didn't say A woman, I said THAT woman....
