There is a degree of sexism to most of them, just like there is a degree of racism when sportswriters and pundits praise white athletes for their intelligence and leadership and black athletes for their physical prowess. It's not necessarily sexist in every case, but the general stereotypes are sexist. It's hard to imagine a male politician being criticized for their appearance (people made fun of Bernie a bit, but it was far from actual criticism) or called most of these words.
