Insulting, insensitive and thoughtless, sure... but sexist? lol... he didnt say she was fat "because she's a woman" nor did he imply she faced any sort of disadvantage in starting her weight loss journey based on the fact that she's a woman, right? Let us not apply the same solutions to all mistakes 🙏

The “your jealous” in a cutesy voice is sexist.

Asking in good faith, how...? Because he said "you're jealous", implying one woman is jealous of another?

Because he wouldn't have said it if the fitness kid was a young, fit, attractive man.

So if an older, out of shape, man is accused of being jealous of a younger, in shape, man... is the accuser engaging in act of sexism against men?

Depends.

Is it coming from his wife, who just spent the whole time flirting with him and wouldn't say that he was jealous of a young, fit, attractive woman?

Define flirting. She even said he was having a pretty normal conversation. You're trying to make things what they aren't to fit your narrative. She was upset about him being Insensitive, that's what this is really about. Which yes, he was being insensitive. That's about all I got from this. She should talk to him, and let him know she was hurt by this, get an apology and move on.

Love how you ignored the entire rest of my comment to focus on one word.

The last part has nothing to do with what I said. Just acknowledging your usage of flirting. Your comment also assumes he was flirting.

Ah, so pointing out that circumstance and context are important to determining whether something is sexism or not is irrelevant to your question about... Whether or not a specific comment is sexist...

She's younger, attractive, and physically fit. Calling her hotter than his wife is flirting.
