Just because you're in love with a character doesn't mean everyone else has to be. You said it yourself that she's a 'imperfect' so maybe that translates a little better to him. The way a character talks to other people is a huge thing to me personally, it's a fairly instructive way to determine said characters personality. It's about personality type not gender as far as I'm concerned.
You might be giving this character too much of a break if you're really going to compare her to the political climate of today... (which most people watch shows to actually get away from that) Hell, the cops from Twin Peaks would actually look competent compared to the horrible nonjustice going on today, but I still hate basically every last one of them regardless.

Disclaimer: I haven't even watched the show you're talking about, but don't assume you're friend's sexist because they aren't gushing over some character like you want them to be.

I don't care that he's not gushing. But when someone doesn't at least respect a female character who is demonstrated to be incredibly competent and capable, because "the way she talks to people is annoying," I can't not see that as sexist.

Furthermore, the show very clearly demonstrates that she speaks to people exactly the way she needs to, in order to have them listen, understand, and do what needs to be done for them all not to die. I mean, the fact that she is able to speak to people in a way that makes them listen is what saves all 50 thousand remaining humans, and that is very much a part of the narrative. So a tone argument feels like really warped priorities.

Huh.

Hearing people's arguments on this has just made me realize that, no, it really does bother me a lot that he thinks about female characters this way. Because I suspect it reflects how he thinks about real life women too.

Honestly that sounds annoying as fuck to me. Not because she's a woman, but because over authoritative haughty leader types can get every irritating very quickly. It sounds to me like you just want to preach and you'll take any excuse you can to do it. Assuming people can't dislike her for her personality just because she is a woman is a lot more sexist anyways, it can go both ways you know.
