My Brother is a Sexist POS
Today, my mom and my brother were watching the new Mario movie. I don’t get along with him at all, but I decided to sit in the background anyway. I’d thought it be a good exposure having to be around him and listen what he said. It was only 20 mins into the movie, and my brother was going on as to how they’d better not screw over the original Mario plot and that princess peach better not have any superpowers and that she’s only a “damsel in distress”. Well, most to his disappointment, Peach did have superpowers. The scene where she’s teaching Mario tricks was especially shocking to him. He’s like “they screwed this all up, Peach shouldn’t be this powerful! It’s an SJW agenda!” He also went on as to how they “pussified” Bowser and how he’s not supposed to have emotions, just a villain. He didn’t like that Bowser was in love with Peach, or how he puts it “why does he want to fuck Peach? It’s not gonna work” So ok, why am I even bothered you may ask? I found it triggering as it just confirms how much of a sexist he is. It also feels like a personal attack on me, albeit indirectly. Like “yeah I’m a true man, something you’ll never be!”. Since growing up, I had feminine tendencies as a guy, and was made fun of by him for that. He’s even said I’m never getting any because I’m too in touch with my emotions and wasn’t the stereotypical asshole Mr. Steal your Girl. That women should be women and men needed to be men… you probably get it by now. So it triggered my insecurities as I’ve never in my life felt “good enough” and accepted as a male because I like gardening, cooking, collecting toys, and had mainly female friends. Males always bullied me and treated me like crap. Can anyone relate to this and if so, how would you cope with these insecurities?
