You don’t have to admit fault to de-escalate. You can just say “I’m feeling confused and a bit hurt right now. I’d like to revisit this when I am not feeling this way.”
Comment on Is it sexist to say "I've never worn a wet dress before"

That can be a touchy subject, so a little bit of humility helps prevent hurt feelings.

To add to that, I know that if I just came out and said exactly “why is that sexist?” it probably would sound like I’m copping an attitude. So I think it’s safer to approach it more delicately.
