New Zealand writer offering sexist view of discipline? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mansfield

'new zealand writer' is the definition.
(writer Katherine Mansfield)

'sexist view of discipline?' is the wordplay.
'sexist view of' becomes 'mans' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'discipline?' becomes 'field' (synonyms).
'mans'+'field'='MANSFIELD'

'offering' is the link.

(Other definitions for mansfield that I've seen before include "Midlands town" , "Name of former pin-up" , "Book by Jane Austen" , "Notts town" , "Novel, '-- Park'" .)
