Wow.
As a woman who also has fought for gender equality since the 1970s, I find your analysis bizarre, to say the least.
You sound like those people who never seem to notice racism, even when it's blatant and right in their face, but are very quick to accuse anyone who points it out of being "the real racists."
Since you've taken it upon yourself to "define sexism" for us, you might want to go a little deeper than the superficial, "sexism means that someone thinks that one sex is superior to the other" and consider the various nuanced ways that sexism plays itself out in this society, including the microaggresssive behaviors that impact women every day yet allow men (and other women) to pretend that all's fair because they didn't mean any harm.
