Sexism, Racism, etc. are characterized by the systematic and societal nature to the discrimination. It would not be sexist to have a women only list, because they do not systematically discriminate against men in society. A men only list would be, because there is systematic discrimination against women, even if the members of the list were themselves not being discriminatory.

This is horseshit. When Asian parents tell their daughters not to date black guys, that is racist. It doesn't matter that Asians are 5% of the American population and not in a position of cultural power.
Marxists have been twisting the language to enhance their own power for too long.
