No one is flawless, and sexist remarks aren’t always made with malice in mind, but that doesn’t excuse us from confronting sexism in our relationships or ourselves.
If you and your partner have a healthy, equitable partnership, you should both feel comfortable calling each other out on sexism, even if it’s subtle.
Here are some sexiest traits you might have been ignoring in your relationship
1. Your partner overrides your opinions
A relationship is successful when both partners have a say in a matter. If you find that your partner overrides the opinions you have, and takes all the important decisions all by himself, this very well may be the case of the sexist traits.
2. Comments that demean your career
If your partner doesn’t take your career seriously or keeps passing comments that are demeaning to your career, it is a sure tell sign of sexism. Men should be the primary breadwinners, they believe. Even if it is permissible for women to work, they should never put employment before their families or domestic management.
3. He decides what you wear
You could think it’s nice and that he’s trying to protect you. But, when you think about it, it isn’t. If he makes the decisions about what you wear, this is very certainly a symptom of sexism in the relationship.
4. You are not allowed to point out their mistakes
If your partner shuts you down whenever you try to point out their mistake and instead expects you to keep quiet and bear it, it is a sign of sexism. A sexist partner’s ego is hurt when they hear from a woman that they are wrong.
5. “You are not like other women”
He considers this a compliment. “Wow, you’re really cool. You’re not like the other girls!” Is this to say that the majority of women don’t deserve excellent qualities and that if I do, I must be exceptional? What a sexist remark!
