that example you gave is pretty overly simplistic, someone who judges someones entire existence based on their gender alone, is mentally ill...that is simply an extreme example of ignorance, stupidity and can be discriminating either way. life is nearly always infinitely more complex and people judge others on all kinds of stuff, stuff that could appear stupid and yes in some ways discriminating too...some people judge on appearance, on clothes, on what car they drive, what ob they do, what money they earn, what their family is like, what their body is like, what their hairstyle is like, what education they have, what country theyre from, what music they like, what friends they have, how much booze they drink etc etc etc its goes on and on.....

but sexism is a stupid word that gets perverted misinterpreted , misused and abused, its a ddangerously misunderstood word that everyone has lost the meaning of anyway. The crazy belief peddled by certain people in society who probably make a lot of money from creating division, peddle the idea that millions of people hate or discriminate against another person simply because of gender is simply crazy. if anything this false dicotomy and the lie that sexism even exists has actually created a war of the genders that never existed. its a sad self fulfilling prophecy, that many weak minded people have fallen for. sexism doesnt exist. the best way go fight the devil is not to feed his fire.
those who peddle division are devils advocates and create huge division.

if you want to pick out individual examples we all hear where this man said women cant park cars , someone else says men shouldnt cry, and others say foreign people should come and take our jobs, some say old people should be stuck in homes , some even say they need euthanasia etc these are all the comments we all here and it doesnt have to be worded an ism, racism, sexism, ageism, etc these are dangerous all embracing over simplictic words. the people in these examples, may be somwhere between stupid, ignorant, uneducated, some are plain nasty, some are rude, some are weak minded, some ar e ill informed, some are bigoted, some of them have distorted thoughts asa by product of a terrible upnringing, the variables are endless

to simply tar some racist, sexist is too big a step, too easy to tarnish and to hurl these phrases.
it is a nonsense and a very very dangerous nonsense, which devalues real abuse and real victims in society
