Boys mine coins, girls bake coins.

[...] images of male football players / female cheerleaders, male pilots / female stewardesses omitted [...]

That's the most sexist thing I've ever seen.

That's actually telling a lot more about yourself than you'd probably expect.

Why is it that you regard those comparisons as sexist?

Because you value cookie baking less than mining?
Because you value cheerleading less than playing football?
Because you value stewarding less than piloting?

Girls and boys are different. That's a fact.
They share common interests but they also tend to have diverging ones.
It is no more sexist to point out those differences than it is to point out that summer is sunnier in California than in Alaska.
