Is there a difference between opinions and judgments?

Sometimes I get the feeling that some women think I should just shut up because what they do is just for themselves and nothing to do with me. I’m dumbfounded by this. It’s my opinion. You don’t have to pay any attention to it. Unless you want to.

Should you express your opinion about how another person looks or behaves? If so, when? Or should we all shut up and keep our opinions about other people to ourselves because other people will take them as judgments?
