I don't think that Rama is unfairly sexist because on page 116 he says, "women can lead one to death." However before that he says, 'He then expatiated on how far one should surrender one's own judgement to another--especially out of love..." So in a sense, you could also say that men can lead one to death. Rama was trying just to please his wife in every way possible because he loved her. So if that meant risking his life to go after a golden deer for his wife he would do it. However, many women would do the same. That femme-fatale motto leads many women to chase after things so that they can please a man. So you could argue that in turn, men can also lead one to death. So you can't say that Rama is unfairly sexist when you can argue the opposite side as well.
