"The sexism here is that women are acting proud they bedded the best golfer in the world, the one who was recently declared "Athlete of the decade" by the AP. They're pushing the idea that women should get ahead in the world by sleeping with powerful celebrities."

That's a pretty broad brush dude, a broad brush equals stereotyping which equals sexist bigotry. Maybe you weren't around for Elvis or Beatle mania, for rock star groupies and such. Power and fame are attractive in themselves. Relatively normal people can get swept up in the fan frensy for reasons other than nefarious plotting ... people get involved for nefarious reasons too but I'm not ready to assume one suit fits all.
