"that is not correct in my view. I happen to believe that men are better than women at growing beards. that is not sexist..."

No, but the example given was of a characteristic (gender or race) that would best serve the case. That implies that there is something about one barrister's gender and/or race that would make them 'better' than another. The beard analogy is therefore not an analogy at all. It's entirely distinguishable.
