Quote #4
Completely caught up in these fierce ideas, the kindly words of the two ladies—what little of them he bothered to make out—annoyed him: they were senseless, foolish, weak-minded and, in a word, feminine. (1.9.36)
When Julien's in a bad mood, he doesn't like hanging around with Madame de Rênal and her cousin, Madame Derville. Frankly, he dislikes everything they're saying because he doesn't think they're smart or rational enough. He finds their conversation bland and superficial, and he blames it on the fact that they're women.
Quote #5
Julien had never found himself so close to these awesome instruments of feminine artillery. (1.16.29)
Julien has never before appreciated all of the little weapons and maneuvers women can use to sting a man's pride and manipulate him over time. He's glad to learn about this, because he hopes to avoid having these weapons work on him in the future.
Quote #6
"How can anyone expect good sense from a woman?" (1.21.40)
This is as sexist a comment as you're going to find. It shouldn't be surprising that it comes from Madame de Rênal's husband, who once again jumps at the opportunity to make generalizations about women. Little does he know that Madame de Rênal is trying to save him from the embarrassment of having the whole town find out that she's been cheating on him.
