So every guy is held to the standard of the vocal tools? Just like every woman is held to the standard of the obvious bad drivers?

No matter how you slice it, the original post may have been intended for everyone, but that wasn't what she said. She said hey guys, why does having an extra appendage make you better at it?

How is that in any way different from the "observations" of bad female drivers? They both lump everyone into the same bucket because they share a gender.
