IS ENGLISH SEXIST?

Is English Sexist? That's what I am wondering! Take the word 'man up' which means to behave in a brave way. Why is it 'man up' and not 'woman up'? This got me thinking about other examples of English being sexist. This video is meant to get people to think about how language is formed by society and vice versa. Let me know what you think in the comments below.
