I guess you can call it sexist if you like, but the fact is that women don't fight like men. Men don't pull hair and tear clothes and slap at each other - men punch and kick and throw and are out to do real damage to each other. Women just don't fight that way, and so by calling it a "cat fight", you're acknowledging both that the participants were women rather than men, and that those women are fighting "girl-style" rather than as men would.

Women slap and pull hair and throw each other around the place if they can. They don't have the skill to throw a punch.
Mens fights are different.
There are exceptions. You can see men having a cat fight, you can see women having a fight.
It's not sexist though. Watch cats fight. They slap. Watch a "cat-fight" between humans. There's slaps, not punches.

No, it's not sexist. It's not even really a gendered term; just VERY rare for men, especially non-gay men. Catfights don't usually involve closed-fists (which is why women can get in REAL fights too; not just catfights), and no one really gets hurt in a catfight.
It's a "cat fight" because of the scratching and howling... slapping , flailing... looking like a ball of craziness lol
Well, at LEAST it wasn’t a bucket of cheese on your head, MillieBrunette!
It's called dog fighting for us. Especially Air Force pilots.
It's called a cat fight because women tend to use their nails to scratch and claw, like a cat. Men don't do that. That's the difference.
You think that's sexist?
What about women calling each other bitches or sluts?In the end woman aren't strong and they only fight with their nails and pulling each others hair thus the cat fight thing came to existance.
There's no word for men fighting. It's just what men do. lol
Men have a label, it's called "physically fighting."
It's not sexist it refers to the style of fighting
It's only offensive to cats.
Men do, invariably it’s a bitch fights.
