No, because men often pose a danger to women. Not all men, but enough that women have evolved a spider sense to warn themselves. Sexism only exists for *unfounded* bias.

Would you argue the same thing on the basis on race? I.e. "black people often pose a danger to white people, enough that white people have evolved a spider sense to protect themselves"? I doubt you would, but it's the exact same (faulty) reasoning.

I think it is sexist but I do not think that is necessary bad, only in a full context you can judge.

I remember walking through the city one night and came up behind a woman. When I passed her she screamed and winced in fear of me. At first I was like “wtf lady I’m not here to rape you I’m just walking” but like two seconds later I thought to myself “meh, I get it”
-
That same woman later went on to get raped because you embarrassed her from using her one defense mechanism.

Yes, but sexism isn't a bad thing.

Sexism is defined by prejudice and discrimination; I don't think that women who do this hate men. It is not done out of spite, it is done out of self-preservation. I'd be curious to hear why so many other men consider it sexist.
-
Because this *is* prejudiced and in the latter case arguably discriminatory. So when you define sexism as prejudice and discrimination based on gender then this fits.

This is both sexist and completely fine, as so many stereotype-based a priori decisions are.

Yes it's sexist, but who said all sexism is bad/unfair/undeserved? I would say it's a pretty good form of sexism to keep you safe.
