I think any man or woman could be equally focused on 'selfies, interest in fashion and social media presence', and I think those things can be distractions (if they become too much of a focus).

I don't see this as sexist, and frankly, I think its sexist-phobic (just made that up because I am unaware of a better word) to suggest that it is sexist. (I think the phrase 'interest in fashion' is what probably caused people to interpret it as sexist.)

I too think Bouchard is too distracted by her fame (which is what I think he meant), and I believe it will limit her success. Which is fine - that's her choice.

But it isn't sexist, IMO.
