Is Elizabeth sexist?

Question

Pride and Prejudice

Is Elizabeth sexist?

It's been bothering me. Why does Elizabeth think it's okay that Mr. W was trying to get Miss King's attention for the money that she had, but not when Charlotte marries Mr. Collins for his money? It feels sexist to me.

You have a point but you might consider that gender equity and sexism was literally non-existent during the Victorian era. As progressive as Elizabeth Bennet was, she still shared the traits of the time period.
