I would say yes! My son played on a hockey team and they wanted to have a parents vs kids game. Well, me and another lady (plus her husband) all played with a bunch of other fathers against the kids and we lost. So, because the coach was ticked off because the kids beat them, they kicked us ladies off and had a rematch. Even though I was a way better player than the ladies husband. I know its not a company, but, I still think that was very sexist too! It ticked me right off. If I worked for a company and they had some sport events (like hockey or ball, that I love...because I'm competitive) I would have complained, cuz that is truly not fair at all! There are alot of good competitive women out there too. In fact I know guys that are totally not into sports, so, why should they get invited and not a woman who is??

There is nothing sexist about not asking you, however if you ask them to attend and they say no, then you could possibly claim a violation of Title 6 of the Civil Rights Act of 1965. Then again, they would be spending money on you...it is not like a raise or promotion, so the conditions would be very different.

If you are an intern as well and you are not receiving the same invitation that your male counterparts are; it's sexual discrimination.
If you can prove it, report it to a higher authority.

Yes, it is sexist. It suppose those events are made for employees recreation and women are employees too so women should go too!!!

Definitely! But why wait for an invite? If you want to go then just go.
