It's like water off a duck's back!
I can't say I've noticed any sexism in birding at all and not in any hides I've been in.
There was a woman having a rant at Mai Po because she couldn't get a seat, no sexism but not much chivalry that day with a Spoon-billed Sandpiper just about to put in an appearance. B
Conversations I have heard in many hides throughout the land though are the constant criticisms of a well know LaRGEr than life birder who some birders seem to be completely obsessed with.
There's barely a thread on the rare birds part of the forum where someone or (usually the same) someones always make a snide comment in his direction even though he no longer visits. I suppose some people have to have an outlet for their narrow mindedness and it comes out in different ways - sexist, racist or leeist, depending on the person & the audience.
