It's sexist because not everyone fits into specific gender roles. Biologically, I might be female, but that doesn't mean I'm mentally or emotionally female. Forcing people apart by biological gender can be psychologically damaging.

I've heard of some instances in Japan where there a gender-specific curfews, where women are expected to be in the dorms by a certain time but men can be out as long as they like.
