You are the one interested in 'arguing for a particular definition'. You started this branch with: "Sexism" is an odd word to use. Normally the term implies some sort of (non-productivity based) distaste for women or bias against believing they will be productive. Hence you need to answer the question for yourself. What are you spending so much time arguing for a particular definition? My point, which you have not observed, is that sexism is independent of productivity, and independent of specifically a 'distaste for women'. Indeed, using 'productivity' as part of your explanation makes it wrong. It is sexist to hire only women as nurses, elementary school teachers, and secretaries. The sexism does not arise from any particular "distaste for women." To the contrary, some people believe that women are innately better for, say, caregiver positions than men. This is a sexist viewpoint with no factual underpinnings. Your definition does not encompass that meaning, so must be incorrect.
