Answer 1

Hey mate.

My father was sexist too! He thought females were inferior to males, he used to think we are dumb and weak.

I changed his mind by showing him I could do all the same things he can do. He used to never ask my mother or myself questions about anything and even once stated that females weren't as smart as males.

I started doing typical male things that he always said women can't do like mowing the lawn and things like that.

I also started correcting his wrong statments and proving my self right.

I can be hard work changing the ideas of someone who is sexist but it can happen.

Good luch and I hope this helps, I know how annoying and upseting it can be.

Answer 2

Hmm - well, it's hard to make people be nice or decent. Who they are is pretty much who they are. When you're an adult you can behave as you think fit, and choose your own friends, but you're stuck with your family. Getting mad rarely does the trick, though - to get what you want, you're much better off using negotiation and 'strength-in-numbers' approaches. Can you cut a deal with them? Can you work out something so all the women in your group stand together? Guys who act in that fashion often have a couple reasons, which may include a feeling of power at making girls and women mad or upset; on the other hand, guys who act in that fashion are also not usually the brightest people around (ticking off women is almost always a recipe for trouble). Most women learn how to use the carrot and the stick to deal with that kind of stupid crap. You might want to talk with your mom and your aunt(s) to get ideas on how to handle it to your benefit. Good luck!

Answer 3

That's so wrong. Other than telling your uncle that he's a sexist pig and that he's making you want to be a feminist lesbian, not sure what else to tell you to do. Or, you could invite them all over (even the boys, without uncle pigs) and go somewhere. If the boys are learning bad things, you can say that you should learn by a good example, and ask them if they'd like it if they were excluded because they are boys.

Answer 5

Ask your Aunts to take you. Explain that this is the year 2007 and women have rights as well as men. Go to the water park, have fun and splash some water in those sexist mens eyes.

Answer 6

Become a card carrying feminist. The National Organization for Women has chapters in every state.

Answer 7

Turn the garden hose on them and tell them you and the girls decided to have your own fun and this is better than going to the waterpark.

Answer 8

oh my goodness I know exactly what you mean girl. I dont think there is a way to get to get stupid ideas like that out of people's heads because often times it is engraved in their thoughts from childhood

Answer 9

If this is always happening it's not right. If it's just male bonding, then bond with the females. Life is short.

Answer 10

i think you should tell them exactly how you feel. probably they dont even realize that they are bein sexist. So just speak your mind
