Man I just think you're a little confused as to what sexist actually is. In the case you referenced above:
"A girl said "kicks and giggles". I hate that phrase" - Not sexist
"A guy said "kicks and giggles" and I laughed, but girls shouldn't be able to say it" - sexist.
In reference to your earlier pile-on, you stated that girls who play certain sports makes them look less feminine, and thus
shouldn't do them. Feminine is a subjective term. Some guys might like the thick thighs girls get from playing hockey or soccer, and those traits certainly do not apply to all girls who plays those sports. Just like some girls might think a guy who can cook is more masculine than the guy who spends all his time at the gym. But it was your opinion, and while perhaps worded poorly, you were probably unfairly piled on.
