I can actually explain why Mary Sue was coined before Gary Stu, even though they mean the same thing. It is true it was levied on female fanfic characters first.

Because girls are to this day the number one resource of fanfiction.

Naturally when Mary Sue was coined, it was after noticing how their author appeal/insert characters were written. These were primarily female characters. Over time the definition was fitting enough for any gender and applicable to even official works, such as Rey in this movie.

Here's the kicker, Slick; Mary Sue was coined by a community of mostly female - fanfic - writers.

Where the hell are you getting sexism from?
