Guys having more strength or HP is no sexism. Differences between genders does no equate to sexism. That is not what "sexism" means.

Your reasoning is flimsy. Multiple characters does not make a game sexist. Stereotypes does not make a game sexist. Your claim about Japanese portrayal of women is needlessly reductive, somewhat xenophobic, and culturally insensitive.

You do not have a point to make, about Fire Emblem or in general. You need to be more specific about sexist elements in a story or sexist elements in mechanics, and you have failed to do either.

What sexism means to you?

You failed too, you are just hearing yourself talking.

Sexism is discrimination based on gender. Acknowledging or highlighting differences between genders is not discrimination.

Sexism is "discrimination or devaluation based on a person's sex, as in restricted job opportunities; esp., such discrimination directed against women."

Fire Emblem does not do that. No one is made less valuable because they are female, nor is anyone made to play a secondary role because of their gender, nor is one gender displayed as being inferior to another.
