    Christmas day report 2.

    That cousin who totes disrespected me last week. 🙄

    Started talking about all of us going on holiday with him to Ireland.

    This is after he said the bus tour operator on his last holiday was boring and would point out the most boring things, like ancient ruins of monasteries

    and I said I’d be “Stop the bus!” and would be excited to see the ruins of the places where monks worked to save western civilisation after the fall of Rome.

    To him the tour would be seeing places where some of his ancestors ( the men ) came from . I truly would not have enough eyes to roll.

    Talking with him yesterday was a good exercise on how a very average sexist copes with talking to a woman who is not cowed by him and is way smarter and knows stuff better ( not perfect, just better ) The copium was spread thick.

    “That’s just your opinion.”

    changes subject

    starts to get passive aggressive

    appeals to other people

      That sounds like the conversation was NEVER about Ireland, monasteries, tour operators or ancestors. It was about dominating the conversation. And you didn’t roll over and let him. Go you!
