Hmmm. Trying to figure out a way to articulate this that makes sense.

I think, at least for me, it's because I don't actually think maleness and femaleness are actually things the way that "good" and "morally grey" are. If you can't relate to ANY female characters? Of ANY sort? I don't care what you say about how you relate to women in the real world, you clearly see a distinction between men and women that I fundamentally don't believe in, and that makes me uncomfortable.

Which, I will note, I actually do think is different than "I don't like/relate to this PARTICULAR female character because the way the narrative portrays/explores/etc. her femininity/place in the world due to her gender/etc. doesn't interest me."

This is a really good point. I know that I'm frequently more interested in male characters than female characters, especially in classic lit, for example, but that's because they get to DO things. Things that are more interesting to me (and not passing judgement on people who disagree or anything) than be chased by suitors, sit at home moping and/or providing support via promises to wait for his return/tokens of love, have babies. There are also some character archetypes that are overwhelmingly male/female, and I have to admit, some of the (almost) Always Male ones are favourites of mine, but if someone just hates every woman they come across in fiction regardless of how she behaves or who she is? That doesn't bode well for their actual attitude about real women.
