Even if it is taking pains to highlight advantages one sex has over the other or the idea that these differences are inherent and a positive thing, the act of making this type of declaration solidifies sexist gender roles (in many cases in a context which indicate a cultural bias, as it leaves no room for the other genders within different cultural systems to exist in any form save a weakened variant).
"Those who think they have no time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness."

If you're right, the series is saying that sexism is evil. I don't see a problem with that. *NM*
