It's sort of sexism, but you're missing where the sexism is. There's just a completely different expectation for how women appear. Women in the limelight can't have a bad hairday and they certainly can't wear the same pantsuit twice. Alternately, as of April, Obama disclosed a total of five suits and four pair of shoes. A woman would never get away with that. She'd be called out by People Magazine for being seen twice in the same outfit.
