&gt;So if I assume you don&#x27;t like pizza and football because you&#x27;re female, so instead buy you frozen yoghurt, I&#x27;m being sexist even if it&#x27;s with the nicest of intentions.<p>If I&#x27;m buying my young niece a toy, and see two otherwise equal toys except one is blue and one is pink, is it sexist to choose the pink one?  I have to make a choice, there is no non-colored toy.<p>I only think it crosses into sexism if my niece told me she likes blue better and I still pick a pink one or if there is some reason that the pink option is objectively worse (say if I was buying her a Bumblebee transformer, picking the pink one instead of the yellow one would qualify because the yellow one is the canonical color).
