What? No. "A man and a woman are treated differently" is not sexism unless there's a causal link between their sex and their treatment.


How else would you explain the difference in this case?


I dunno, maybe with some actual analysis of the events rather than an assumption that "if something bad happens to a woman then it's sexist"?


TFA does that.


I'd add - it also usually has to be unjustified and harmful per common usage.
