Terms like "sexist" seem to have no clear meaning nowadays.

If sexism is just treating different sexes differently, then anything involving physical attraction is by definition going to be sexist because males and females are not attracted to the same things in each other.

Giving a female massive biceps will not make her attractive to men. If we're going to say that massive boobs count as sexist, then we have to say that massive biceps or a 6-pack on a man is also sexist (which no-one ever says). So there's some double standards going on here. Far better to just use a different word that is defined more clearly.
