Jamie and Jimmy had entered a cocktail competition and the judge who was judging it said , " great cocktail blah blah but you have been beaten by a woman" as if was somehow shameful. Why not " you have been beaten by someone with more expertise/skill"

No one would dream of saying but you've been beaten by a 'insert any other discriminated group'

AIBU? I feel it really undermined the female winner.

Its a non issue. I've been beaten by men and women. Your.reading too much into it and probably like to be offended as it's all the craze these days!

It is offensive stereotyping. Similar to running like a girl being an insult.

I didn't see the show, but based on what you wrote, I agree.
It's the same thought as "run like a girl", "throw like a girl" to be used as an insult. The idea of male = default good, female = lesser
