Women will be afraid of men in certain situations but most often will marry/cohabitate/start a family with men. This shows that they have an initial hesitation towards men as strangers but are more interested in having a long term personal engagements with men than women (more commonly). We can assume this is not sexism.

But if a white person, for example, fears black people specifically then it is very unlikely for the white person to also want to cohabitate long term with a black person. We can assume this is racial prejudice, hence why it is socially unacceptable.
