  1. fair sex

    The term "fair sex" is an old-fashioned and somewhat poetic term that refers to women. The adjective "fair" is used in the sense of delicately beautiful, gentle, and kind, thus conveying a traditional or stereotyped view of femininity. It originated from the belief that women are more delicate, beautiful, and kind compared to men. It should be noted that using such a term today could be considered sexist or patronizing as it reduces women to their physical appearances and perpetuates gender stereotypes.
