Thanks to the trickle-down effect, say Nathanson and Young, we've got to a state where it is entirely acceptable for women to say things about men which would be offensive, if not illegal, were it the other way round (as neat a definition as you will find of "misandry"). When two or three women are gathered together you can be pretty certain that it won't be long before they are dissecting the psychological and sexual failings of men in general, and their men in particular. Owning up to actually liking your husband, brother or boss is to spoil the fun for everyone else.
