Every time I encounter women being sexist, I get pissed off.
This anger will last a long time, and I firmly believe that women's rights can only be fought for by women themselves, and that men cannot be relied upon at all.
That's why the feminist movement has to be consistently vocal, and sometimes it even needs to be radical.
Because I trust my dad more, I will talk to him about this, but he always says he's from a female perspective, but I think he still sees things from a male perspective. When I bring up the subject, he gets emotional, swears and even gets physical.
He also used to say something about men having higher IQ than women.
Every time we talk, we fight, and he used to just hit people sometimes and threaten to whip me if he ever mentioned it again.
I recently read a true story about the ancient Empress Liu E. I realized that men in ancient times often maligned capable women, portraying them as bad people.
It was felt that women should abide by female virtues, believing that it was only natural and could not cross the line.
I feel like modern men, including my dad, find it hard for women to be executives, and that men are more likely to win if there is male competition.
It's really about thinking that women should follow some sort of unspoken rule.
It's clearly still discrimination.
But every discussion leads to conflict.
Hi, I'm WeiZhiPeng and I'm glad to be here to talk to you.
Your distress lies mainly in the conflict of ideas with your father.
Everyone has different experiences and sees the "world" very differently. You are trying to get him to understand your perspective, and he is trying to get you to accept his. When neither side can convince the other, he will try to silence you by using more aggressive methods, such as name-calling or physical force.
This position of his is actually quite tenuous.
But I want to remind you of a fact you may not want to face: your reactions are confirming exactly what he expects! Every argument, every complaint, every compromise or outburst is reinforcing his thoughts. He may be thinking, "You won't convince me at all, I'm the parent and I have ways to make you give in."
I suggest you do an experiment: for the next month, avoid discussing any sensitive topics with him and see how your relationship changes. Try it and record your feelings and thoughts.
