Yes.

The definition of sexist that I am familiar with is "The intention for
one sex to dominate another."

Perhaps I need to be disputed on this point.  Do women place a higher
priority on vanity than men?

See what above?  All I saw were some terse denials without any
demonstration of intelligence.

The statement that I made a sexist remark was what I considered
erroneous.

Do you know of any women that are offended with a comment like
"bright-eyed and pretty?"  Is it an attempt to dominate the recipient?
Was it based on her gender?  Was it incorrect?

I find women very attractive.  That I express it gives me no shame.
