Since there is so much talk of Sexism here on DU
Defination
gender bias n. unequal treatment in employment opportunity (such as promotion, pay, benefits and privileges), and expectations due to attitudes based on the sex of an employee or group of employees. Gender bias can be a legitimate basis for a lawsuit under anti-discrimination statutes.

1. There are a LOT of definitions for sexism:
discriminatory or abusive behavior towards members of the opposite sex
http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=sexism

Bias against a certain gender.
www.coolnurse.com/sex_glossary/glossary_s.htm

A social relationship in which males have authority over females.
www.personal.utulsa.edu/~lara-foley/definitions.htm

defines the ideology of male supremacy, of male superiority and of beliefs that support and sustain it. Sexism and patriarchy mutually reinforce one another. source

3. Your 3rd and 4th definitions explain a lot of the posts on DU.
They very neatly make it impossible for females to be guilty of sexism.

Including them without comment does not speak well of your objectivity.
