Part of the problem is no one bothered to define sexism before this debate began. Let's go from there.
First I'll just say FFX-2 is a bag of mixed nuts, like anything ripping off "Charlie's Angels" would be. On the one hand, they seem "empowered" enough but on the other hand experience has shown that it's apparently done in a way that is still pretty sexist. I guess the idea is that some guys get a similar kick out of seeing one of those women things as a hero as they do seeing a DOG DRESS AS A PERSON. Also the outfits are pretty frickin' obvious. At any rate I have no idea what happened between the 10 and 10-2, but apparently proper storyline just doesn't matter sometimes, so you get a character that is completely unlike her appearence in the first game. Anyway, I still played it and the game was fun in it's way.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
