It is not sexist for one person to help another person because that person needs help. It would be sexist to press uninvited help solely on grounds of biological sex. It would be a form of received sexism to refuse help, or not to ask for help, for fear of "betraying" your sex - male or female. Also very silly.
Technique is everything. I have seen many people small of stature, mainly female, wielding shovels and mattocks and driving wheelbarrows with a greater ease than most large males. I don't mean to patronise, but I suppose if you're slighlty built then you have to dig smart.
Today, Bradford. Tomorrow, well, Bradford probably.
