You had me at the first cover on that one.
As for sexism in literature, art, film, television, etc. - it's not really something that I go looking for. If it's blatant I probably notice it, but latent sexism really escapes notice because it's not something I really pay attention to, being a guy.
I support feminism to the extent that it's about freedom of choices but not when it gets into all this "phallocracy" crap, or "womyn" or "all sex acts are rape". In other words, I don't think sexism is a good thing, but my definition is probably different from some other peoples'.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

If this doesn't convince you how sexist American SF was during the 1980s...
