I don't consider that sexism at all. It's a common term and everybody know's the meaning of it. It's not implying that women are less technically competent than their male counterparts, it's simply a term that's now used to define simplicity.
It reminds me of the South Park episode that circled around the word "fag". While it originally was a derogatory term used towards homosexuals, thats generally no longer the way it's used. I know myself, and many many others that occasionally drop the "fag" word and don't mean it as a negative connotation towards a homosexual. The same can be said for "so simple your mom could use it". The sex of the subject has very very little to do with the message being portrayed.
I personally think, if anything, people need to start being less sensitive to this type of stuff.

There is no attribute that mothers have in common other than being female. > It reminds me of the South Park episode that circled around the word "fag". It reminds me of when I moved to South Dakota, and I learned that negotiating for a lower price was called "jewing you down". Doesn't mean the people had anti-Semitic beliefs; they just used a vicious ethnic slur in their everyday speech because they were used to it. > and don't mean it as a negative connotation towards a homosexual. Son, I reckon before you start using them big five-dollar words you oughtta learn what they mean.
