no its not its because most women are a little more sensitive than guys so im not going to abuse that sensitivity.
Stereotype as defined by Merriam-Webster:
1 : a plate cast from a printing surface
2 : something conforming to a fixed or general pattern; especially : a standardized mental picture that is held in common by members of a group and that represents an oversimplified opinion, prejudiced attitude, or uncritical judgment
Meaning, in short, that just because it's generally true, doesn't mean it's not a stereotype.

so there for i cant see the reason why it would be classed as sexism.
Women ARE, statistically speaking, on average, physically weaker than men, it is a fact. Acting based on that information is acting upon a stereotype of women and is therefore a form of sexism.

No I wouldn't, I would be grateful for the help, unless you asked me if I was okay in some weird or creepy manner.
