I think the problem is that 'sexist' and 'stereotyping' are loaded terms which imply bad behaviour.

Imagine I'm creating a basketball team and I reason that height is an advantage for players and men tend to be taller than women, so I will not aim to have 50% women on the team. By your definition I'm being sexist, but my attitude doesn't deserve the opprobrium that that label implies.
