Jesus man give it a rest. She can still say "no thanks" to that and it doesn't have to end in assault. That's a perfectly fine sentence to weave into a converstaion and it doesn't have to be overly agressive. Sample:
"Well I'm new here, don't really know a lot of places"
"Well give me your number and I'll show you a couple of my favorite spots"
Girl can answer however she wants.
As for the earlier comparisons of racism vs sexism is not a good one IMO. The difference between a white man and a black man is the color of their skin (without taking into account any other socioeconomic or psychological differences). The difference between men and women is biological and we do think about things differently and react differently to situations based on those natural differences.
Saying "all women like to talk about themselves" is certainly sexist, but to think that there arent fundamental differences in the ways women view the world and the ways men view the world is incorrect. It's not say one is better than the other. But if people find a way to exploit those differences for selfish reasons, it could be douchbaggery or sociopathy, etc.., but I'm not sure sexist is the right term here.
