I am a woman, and I don't find this sexist. It is only sexist if the implication is that women are somehow inferior because this process renders them infertile. I don't read that into this idea; merely that there is a cost for summoning a familiar. You could think of it this way: if males _can't_ summon familiars, then is that sexist towards males that they can't be magical in the first place? Also, the question is not if it's sexist in _our_ society, but in the society in your universe. Many historical or fantasy novels have very sexist environments, but as long as you are not condoning that, then you're simply describing your world. Honestly, I feel that it's a very interesting idea and I think that it is fine.
