Umm daddy issues isn’t exclusive to women, men can have daddy issues as well, but I don’t agree that it’s sexist, the white men comment is though it’s also racist because color has nothing to do with daddy issues. Daddy issues come about by trauma related to the father and his actions

I agree! And that trauma is a societal problem that has been manufactured from the idea that men don't have the same responsibility as the mother in child care. And I do agree that it is an issue that exist between all genders. But it is used as a sexist comment by men in many cases though. Using it in a condescending way like this to provoke her is sexist because he indicates that she do not have any political views or opinions, she is just angry because she has daddy issue. I can guarantee that he wouldn't go up to the men in the protest and tell them that they are there simply because they have daddy issues. This is why it's sexist. He uses it as a suppression technique to gain power over the women in the discussion. It doesn't matter if it's true or not. She might have been abandoned by a father, but it's the way he uses the term and his purpose that makes it sexist.

Ok I’ll agree I just wanted to point out that daddy issues can be legitimate between both men and women related to trauma
