That doesn't mean it's always as such, though. The world isn't exactly full of absolutes.
Essentially how I feel about the matter. There can be sexism applied to the term, but that's the case with almost anything when you truly stop to think about it. It all depends upon how it's used, when it's used, and by whom is using it. By itself the term is no less benign than any other.
