Sexist means allocating things depending on male or female. ' Washing day" has no sex. Therefore your challenger was wrong. If he/she assumed you meant that you always did the washing then they did not express themselves very well.

I write a newsletter for a local group and always start with a bit of cheerful, chatty nonsense to lighten the tone. Recently, I wrote that the blustery, showery weather was making washing day a challenge. To my surprise, I was advised that "washing day" is sexist and "drying the washing" would be more acceptable. Is it me?
