Sexism is found in a male-dominated culture which promotes a paternalistic ideology that puts men first, above women and children.
However, it depends on the situation. If I rib a close relative about getting married and "pop" some kids, I try to quickly say, "Just kidding!"
In a democracy, a bunch of politicians would enact laws to protect women, children, family and men by vote but commoners such as you or I cannot get elected. The lucky candidate must be upper middle class. Sexism is kept in check by laws which uphold human rights laws regarding women.
In the family, nobody is elected. Two people make love, and within 4 months, she's showing. Because sexism is learned behavior, usually it's done to fit in with an out crowd.
Yet in an equalitarian society, each gender, both young and old, take turns dominating the other out of fun, not spite. >:)
