A comment on Julie Ann Horvath Describes Sexism and Intimidation Behind Her GitHub Exit. Parent comment
It's sexism if a human being[1] is being mistreated, harassed, or "labeled" because of their gender[2].
It's perhaps easier to understand from analogy[3], take a look at racism[4] and see if you can find any similarities.
Feel free to ask any question if something is still unclear.
