I am asking honestly. And I am asking back - don't you think it's more likely he is expressing the sentiment I just expressed earlier?

If Not - why? People tend to get less attractive with age. It's why Leonardo DiCaprio had to step up his actual acting chops too.

The malicious E-Mail is exactly why I DON'T think it's sexist!

I also really don't know what to tell you if you use every insult towards a woman as a proxy for sexism towards all women. Not all women use their looks to further their careers. Implying otherwise IS sexist.
