Is it sexist to call a woman "snippy"?

I was called that and can't think of when a man was called that term.

Mostly my brother, who is occasionally inclined to snippiness.

6. I have called a man snippy and snippedty.

I have also called a man a drama Queen. I’ve said lots of things I have no inclination to take back!

7. Context is important. The less you know the man, the more sexist it sounds.

I have called my wife "snippy" before, but she was in a bad mood and took it out on me. She is better educated than me and most of the time reacts better emotionally to issues than myself. I still reserve the right to have candid conversations with her and she has the same right with me.

8. I say salty or spicy and its not gender specific.
