You do not get to rewrite the meaning of the word sexist. A sexist is someone who stereotypes women negatively, holds a discriminatory double standard where things acceptable for men are not acceptable for women; or holds a chauvinistic belief in the inferiority of women

No. I do not. It was invented in the 1960s by woman’s libbers. Nuff said.

sexist (adj.)
1965, from sex (n.) on model of racist, coined by Pauline M. Leet, director of special programs at Franklin & Marshall College, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, U.S., in a speech which was circulated in mimeograph among feminists. Popularized by use in print in Caroline Bird's introduction to “Born Female” (1968).
