That's not actually what it means to be sexist. I could just as easily say it's sexist to shoot a woman, only later it's revealed the woman was shot in the middle of a battlefield in combat, and suddenly it becomes surprisingly unsexist since said woman was being shot at equally with the men. It is the context that makes it sexist, not the act itself.It is a sexist act because it requires violence against a woman

It's not the baseline violence part, it's the part. You're right about context, but you're wrong about your analogy. requires violence against a woman
