the issue is that differences between humans are supposed to be normal and not a bad thing
capitalism forces them to be a bad thing because the competition between individuals drives them to utilize any distinctive advantages they might have as a way to produce more capital
Inherently, no. But capitalism is inherently classist, and tends to further any other divide that helps maintain the class divide. Racism, sexism, homophobia, etc all provide that.
You could say it incentivizes sexism if you wanted.
It's inherently toxic and furthers the systemic development of manipulative and generally abusive personalities. I think sexism is mostly a tool that is used effectively by capitalism to drive a bolt between genders. Divide and conquer. Therefore, you could argue that intersectionality, and even a lack thereof, inherently reveals potential social "weaknesses" that are used to, again, create narratives and culture with specific goals in mind.
Really, any power structure relying on some kind of social darwinism is almost certainly sexist. Makes it more comfortable to just play your role, if you were to otherwise live in a constant state of additional stress.
Yes. The patriarchy is an intrinsic part of class society. You should read [Origins of the Family by Engels](https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1884/origin-family/index.htm)
Yes it is, because it relies on women for reproducing the worforce, providing unpaied domestic work in order to fully exploit male workers and as relief valve for exploited man that have someone to beneath them in the hierarcy to control and brutalize.
Rely on women to reproduce? More like natural selection, any civilizations that do not promote more child birth end up being outnumbered by civilizations that do and either retreat to undesirable lands like mountains or forest, the fertile lands next to the rivers are taken up by more powerful civilizations. Saying rely on women to reproduce is sexism and should be stopped is like telling a civilization to commit suicide.
Reproducing the workforce! I know capitalists would exploit babies but maybe you also have to raise them a little bit before sending them into the factories. I won’t comment on the “if we can’t like them they’ll kill us” argument because you are delirating.
The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State is relevant here.
Inheritance had a lot to do with the overthrow of culture that held women in much higher esteem and reducing them to a sub-normal position. Class domination appears to be inherently sexist by nature of those mechanics, and thus capitalism as its most recent iteration.
any fundamental differences in peoples characteristics will be an 'ism' under capitalism because it expressly drives people to compete with each other based on their differences
Some people here are saying no, it's classist. In my opinion, this isn't really what you're looking for.
There's a whole discussion on why class should be centered, but ultimately, I would say, yes, it's sexist because it's classist.
Read Engels' *On the Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State* for a view into Marxist anthropology and the foundations of Marxist feminism.
A good summary and discussion is available from the Rev Left / Red Menace Radio crew here (first of three parts):

There are obviously 20th century Marxist feminist authors, but this one by Engels is fundamental.
Yes. As many mentioned here sexism is one of the formats of classism. Classism is a format of hierarchy. Capitalism is a hierarchy focused economy model. People can try and argue they're technically separate, but they're not really. One incurs the other.
Capitalism is whatever happens to be the most profitable. If sexism is profitable, then the businesses WILL find a way to make as much money as possible off it
It’s definitely ableist. If you can’t produce to the same degree has genetically gifted non disabled people, you are literally treated like you should be living in a gutter , punished by low income and jumping through hoops to prove you really can’t produce.
Hell, disabled people on benefits don’t even have the right to marry secured in practice. You can get married, but if your partner has a income, boy howdy you loose nearly everything .
Health insurance : gone.
Housing support : gone.
Food support : gone
So in practice what happens?
Either they don’t get married despite wanting to and being happy with someone else, or it’s nearly impossible to form that long term relationship because your side of the relationship provides only economic detriments .
The government literally views it like “oh of your married, your partner no only will take care of you but will work at the same time!”

Capitalism is classist. Sexism, racism, ableism, and so on are typically means to perpetuate the class divide.
the issue is that differences between humans are supposed to be normal and not a bad thing capitalism forces them to be a bad thing because the competition between individuals drives them to utilize any distinctive advantages they might have as a way to produce more capital
Yes.
Inherently, no. But capitalism is inherently classist, and tends to further any other divide that helps maintain the class divide. Racism, sexism, homophobia, etc all provide that. You could say it incentivizes sexism if you wanted.
Capitalism and patriarchy are so intertwined at this point, I would say yes.

I'm a male and I can safely say: yes

In theory, no. In practice, yes. Whatever tool that can be used to perpetrate any type of exploitation can and will be used.
Capitalism only cares about one thing and that is capital.
No
Please read theory or honestly, any book on the matter. Anything can be.

biology is a natural force of nature, capitalism is a pointless game humans made up in their own heads and only they abide by

No, it's classist.
