He explained it in the same tweet, though Whedon now deleted his account. He basically said that Claire/Bryce was stiff and Owen/Chris wasn't based on one clip (the scene where Owen and Claire "first" meet). I didn't see anything sexist too nor she was stiff, she was my favourite character in the film.
The sexism issue is, imo, overreacted to
Claire's sister says 'you'll understand when you have children', which while harsh, is her opinion. Owen says she needs to loosen up, probably with the implication of getting laid, which is also overdone, but still his opinion
Opinions, not statements - nothing else in the film suggests to Claire, or us, that it actually needs to happen. Even after things go to hell, her character is that of a normally-composed woman doing the best she can to protect her nephews, and survive these events - and she does it well, staying true to herself while doing what needs to be done.
Oh, and I forgot to put a comma after "wasn't". It reads like "wasn't based". :P

Not a masterpiece like Jurassic Park, but a very good film in it's own right
I very much enjoyed the film very much. It may not be as good as say Jurassic Park, but it laughs Jurassic Lost World and Jurassic Park 3 out of the water.
The acting was very good for the most part, though the two kids could have been done better. Chris Pratt played a convincing raptor trainer.
I thought the film looked great with a few goofs here and there.
Overall the movie was just very good. It looks good, had a good story that did it's own thing while respecting the original film. The last 30 and twenty minutes of the film was very tense. The crowd where i went to was on edge during that time, me included.
And before anyone asks: I didn't see anything sexist about the character Claire. While she isn't furisoa or even Ridly, she still holds her very well when the action began to start. I am not quite sure was Joss Wheldon was talking about few months back.
(sorry for the short review. this is my first movie review)
