But sexist stereotypes did exist before the internet (at a much higher rate than today). Using the logic of the past doesn’t mean it’s being sexist of today.
Kind of like if the answer was a job and it was before the internet (so, like pre~1990), it would be reasonable to assume women were not as prominent in a lot of things like they are today.
