I follow you, it could conceivably be sexist.  How old =is= she?  IIRC 
she is quite young for any National Security Adviser, male or female. 
 Bush is pretty young for a president, for that matter, though not as 
young as Clinton was when he took office.  Did British news refer to 
Clinton as young?
