:
I think there are some behavioral differences such as most women pay special attention to how they look and men are more interested in sports, although there are always exceptions to such behavioral differences
I strongly dispute this. I, a man, am not the least bit interested in sport and I know women who are massively into sport. I also know a couple of women who are the least vain people you'd ever imagine. I think you're only considering people within the Western world (and places affected by the West) who are just following social conventions of a particular culture. Although we're talking about treatment of women in these areas, I still think it's important to consider that our view of sexism is strongly affected by our culture and to get a better understanding of the matter as a whole, we need to examine the treatment of women in other cultures.
