There is an older man I know, probably in his late 60's early 70's, who is a complete sexist pig! His wife, who is very nice and respectful of all people, invites me over for dinner one evening. As we were all talking about various things we've done in our lives, he said to me, "You don't need to go to school or have a career- you're a girl. You'll be well taken care of once you get married." His wife said he was just being old-fashioned. I, however, found it very offensive- not only was it sexist but also an insult to my intellect and abilities/skills. How should I handle this? I don't want to be put in a situation like that again.... please help?
