sexism is a subject invented and studied by feminists. They held a hypothesis that the lexicon, grammatical structure, etc. of a language contain features that makes woman excluded, insulted or unimportant.
"Tomorrow I will meet my new doctor; I hope he is friendly."
Since the speaker hasn’t met the doctor, how can the speaker know the doctor is HE? This kind of assumption can be regarded as sexism in Language.

Sexism is the metaphorical leash that when properly applied can keep those who do not benefit society in any conceivable form from controlling your life. Make me a sandwich bitch!

A term normally quoted by feminism.
It's used when a woman/male is pressured in a social situation to say or act in some way based on their gender.

When we say that boys are not supposed to cry because they are males, it's sexism.
If a woman is expected to clean the dishes, but not a male of his same age, it's sexism.

Sexism is very real in our world and the definitions I have found are not great so I'm putting one out myself.
Sexism is discrimination of a male or female based on their gender and gender stereotypes, this is shown for females with the wage gap and comments often heard, and for males it is shown with the expectations they are held to that they are expected to meet while females aren't due to their gender, they are also less likely to gain custody of a child in a court hearing, and jobs they are "supposed" to have and for both, Magazines showing what they "should" look like.

Female sexism:
"That chick looks like such a whore"
"That chick should be in the kitchen not out there trying to be a cop" Male sexism:
"Your too sensitive to be a guy"
"Man Up!"
None of these comments are true if you hear one of these things being said STAND UP TO IT! or ignore it because you can be whoever you want don't let sexism get in your way.

Basically look up some definitions of feminism or feminist on this site and that is sexism. Sexism occurs more commonly for females but it often occurs for males too.
"Women can do the same job as men, but won't always get paid the same amount. This is sexism."
"Men who are skinny are seen as weak, however women who are skinny are seen as attractive. This is sexism."
