That's the elementary school explanation of sexism. It's useful as a shorthand for explaining the concept in a sentence, such as saying "the ground is down", but it misses all the larger nuance, such as the concept of an inertial frame and the arbitrariness of coordinate systems.
With sexism, reducing the concept down to "prejudice or discrimination" misses its more essential points about psychology and sociology. It doesn't explain what objectification is nor how gender imbalances are arbitrary, even if we have some idea of how they came about.
