I'm not sure if I get your viewpoint right. Considering a woman to be of another person and thus off-limits for talking is already quite sexist and offensive in the West. Maybe that's not what you're trying to say? (In this vein, everyone is sexist and discriminatory and we just have to work with it, so this is not supposed to pass judgement on the person doing it, just the idea. You're not your ideas.)

Hello, I can speak for Sicily, and here this mechanism can work both sides, simply there are people that avoid to engage too much with the mate of another person, regardless of the sex. While I also think this is unacceptable, at least for my cultural background and my values, I think it is still a simpler to correct and more acceptable thing compared to not making eye contact or speaking with a woman because of not giving her the same importance of the other men. So yes, anyway even not engaging with a person because of its sentimental status with other persons you do not want to upset is terrible, but at least is not so directly sexism.
