Are you sure that's your true rejection? I think writers use “we” to denote groups that don't literally include all of the readers all the time, but from what I've seen on LW readers seem to be particularly bothered by that when that group is “males”.

I am sometimes irritated when speakers use "we" to refer to heterosexuals, which happens fairly often. I just don't usually mention the fact.
