Overly-sensitive, especially with regards to fair play. That's the main reason.
Now this next statement makes me sound like a pompous jerk, but it's true. I'm far too empathetic for my own good. I want people to be happy, I want to defend those who (IMO) need defending, I'm an idealist who wants everyone to get along and play nice.
Those are my issues, and it's not fair of me to assume others want my "help" and I know this. I'm working on it, though.

Idealists are the ones who wish to lump people into categories. Notice your use of "everyone" here, implying that you wish to see everyone get along and play nice. Though it is a good ideal in my opinion, not everyone can be lumped into the category of people who play nice and get along.
Those who place women or men into stereotypes are comparing them to their ideal, without admitting that not everyone of that category fits it. They are not considering the particular individual on its own merit. This is idealistic thinking.
I realize my pedantry here, but it's best to keep one's idealism in check.
