At no point did I ever specify that males only are perves?

Assuming we're referring to the same post, I commented that anyone and everyone inserting themselves unreasonably into the sex life of a woman (as in that instance, it was a woman) was being a perve. Though perhaps I should have used the term voyeur.

Don't feel you need to regret comments like this, constructive discussions are welcome.

Well to my knowledge, it was only really males (often referred to a MRAs by another poster) on that side of the discussion, however, the main point is that you pretty much referred to numerous posters (not by name) as perverts, which is certainly an insult (and insulting other users is against the rules), whether or not it could be considered sexist. I think there were valid reasons to be interested in the situation and the discussion of the situation, although I do believe that some of your bannings were certainly just. Some people went too far, whether they were joking or not. Its just that with sexism, people always assume that it is against females, or rather, by a certain group of people (mysogynists) where comments on the other side of the discussion can be just as offensive and yet they often get overlooked.

I'm glad you are open to constructive critisism. Some other sites I've been on have been a little trigger happy when it came to critiques of the moderation staff.
