My great-grandfather was works foreman at the Triumph for 25 years over the turn of the last century and refused to employ women thinking they couldn't cope with engineering. He didn't live long enough to see one daughter become a winning rally driver and the other leasrn to fly and drive a train. My mother was one of the first people to drive round Silverstone. Don't have any truck with using the nature of a person's reproductive organs to decide what they should or could do - other than in matters of reproduction of course.
BTW referring women not knowing their place especially as an alternative to sexism does give impression of sexism.
