One of the most sexist things in cycling is the great discrepancy between men's and women's road racing distance (and often difficulty) as well as the lack of women's races, especially high-profile ones (honourable exceptions apply here).
The situation has improved very slightly since the documentary 'Half the Road' by Kathryn Bertine (2014), but not nearly enough--there still aren't any women's equivalents of any of the Grand Tours or most of the major Classics, for instance.
