The pattern matching IS SEXIST! That's the whole issue. Your using gender as a "pattern" to match against.

The point is to try to overcome making that match.

So I'm supposed to what, talk to everyone? Close my eyes while I'm doing it? In the real world I have limited time and I know I'm going to be happier and learn more if I'm talking to people with similar interests. So I make the best judgement I can with the information I have available. And sure, sometimes I'll get it wrong. But I don't think it's reasonable to expect people to just have no filter.
