So when a woman has a problem at work, it is "sexism"?

Let's try this one again, from the start:

It's sexism if a human being[1] is being mistreated, harassed, or "labeled" because of their gender[2].

It's perhaps easier to understand from analogy[3], take a look at racism[4] and see if you can find any similarities.

Feel free to ask any question if something is still unclear.

You're obviously not even trying to understand this.
