Whyy Is My Dad So Sexist?
Ok well I'm 18 years old and my brother is almost 20. My dad has NEVER had a problem with any girl he may have brought home. My case is a completely different story. No matter how well a guy treats me, my dad is always an a$$hole to them. It wasn't a big deal with my mom but him, like he just freaks out. He'll interrogate for like addresses, license plate numbers, all kinds of crazy stuff. As far as sex go, I've heard my dad just tell my brother to be safe, but for me, if even the thought of me having sex came about, he'd flip.

It disgusts me how no one else has yet recognized the sexism your father has exhibited. I do believe that his overreactions are motivated by his love and want to protect you, however he definitely has a double standard.
1. Never discuss sex with your father. If he tries to discuss it with you, tell him that you will not discuss it with him.
2. While you are living at home, it is certainly reasonable for your parents to want to know who you are dating, where they live. The sad fact of the matter is that women are at a high risk of violence and sexual assault from men that they know. However, since you are a legal adult, you need to be learning how to navigate dating safely on your own.
that's not sexism. That's just a dad being protective over his daughter, he can't help it, it's in his nature. The addresses and stuff is a little OTT though.
You see all those movies where the dad bullies the boyfriend or the mum is a ***** to the girlfriend, well that happens quite a lot in real life. It's some psychological thing, maybe.
It's not sexist, it's father. There is no penalty to a guy for having sex. All guys are after sex. Sex will definitely get a girl pregnant and or ruin her reputation. The society is sexist and the fathers are trying to protect their children the best they can. Your's may well be over reacting. Talk to him.
He's not sexist. You're just his little girl (even if you are 18, that's how he probably views you still), and he knows what goes on in the minds of teenage boys when they go out with girls (since he was once a teenage boy), and he wants to protect you.
Your dad is only looking out for you. You're his little girl. He's going to want to make sure you're safe and no one is going to hurt you. In a family of both gender siblings, it's almost always a double standard when it comes to dating. You're 18, you'll, hopefully, soon be out of the house.
Good luck. x
OMG, you have a Dad that loves you to bits but you are too young to see it. Try to grow up in your brain and you'll see you are acting out of order here.
That's not even remotely close to sexism. He's watching out for his little girl.
