It's more actionable than you might think. Attitudes can be changed - by social pressure, through the media, and through education. And while legislation may not directly change attitudes, it can also help create pressures that reshape them indirectly.

I think the parent's point is "sexism" (and most "isms") themselves aren't specific enough to be actionable. There are many beliefs and actions that can be classified as "sexist". These specific ideas may be corrected. But "sexism" is too vague to be addressed itself.
