That is the first time I have ever read through a post that long
and you are 100% right the men in your family from how I have interacted with them are on their way to retardism
I doubt its a sexism thing
I think its more they are closed minded about everything
and if they make an opinion you cant sway it

Yeah, my dad is really stubborn irrational asshole a lot. But Polish society is really sexist, even right now. Sexism is discrimination based on gender and also attitudes, conditions, or behaviors that promote stereotyping of social roles based on gender. Gender stereotyping is still a seriously unresolved issue there (mostly because of the fucking catholic bullshit). My parents admit to me regularly that the allow Jan to be a reckless teen and were so hard on me when I was his age "because I am a girl". Yes, there are stupid arguments like that girls can get pregnant and all that bs, but basically *not* patenting Jan and not giving him boundaries just because he is a boy makes like no sense whatsoever. Normally, I wouldn't just pin this weapon thing on sexism, but with the sexist bullshit already engrained in my parents through Polish society (as well as my grandpa), and my with dad's general sexism (which you aren't expected to be familiar with), points to it being a gender issue. Especially since, there has never been an argument ( ... )
