Is it common in academia for sexism to be defined as male preferential treatment?

In a male dominated field, no.

In a female dominated field, such as nursing or primary education, sexism to many has the opposite meaning. For example, there is lots of sexism regarding "house-husbands". I have a charming gentleman who babysits my daughter, he was very worried about sexism, and, well, for good reason.
