Sexism = hatred and discrimination towards a person based on their sex rather than individual merit.
Feminism = concerns/theories/cultural & political movements/philosophies regarding gender inequalities and equal rights for women.
Using the word "sexism" or calling a person/writer/television show sexist with very little thought, purpose, or consideration as to what that word means, robs it of some of its power. It also does nothing to educate on, bring awareness to, or empower feminism.
Just saying.
