Seems to come within the definition of sexism.

It is a generalization and obviously not good as such.
But it isn't sexism. Sexism is institutionalized. At best men can suffer individual and personalized incidents of gender based discrimination.
Whereas women have the entirety of society stacked against them. Society as a whole is biased towards white men.
Men hold the power, men didn't have to fight for their right to vote, in incidents of sexual abuse society usually makes excuses for the guilty man and victim blames women. When there are sexual abuse cases where the women was guilty she's immediately considered by public opinion as a soulless monster.
And it goes on and on...
