The realities of history, incidentally, have shown that the U.S. has generally staggered in the direction of personal freedom. To recognize that is not sexist.
Humanity in general has also staggered in the direction of tolerance and freedom.
Either way, there is no sexism involved. I might as well call YOU sexist for insisting that women need special legislation to retain their equality. If one were reading into things, one might think that you were taking the position that men are, as a rule, tyrannical. THAT would be sexist. Believing in the human race? Not so much.
