Dp's family being unintentionally Sexist?
They often say Im great because I do XYZ (could be anything but as an example went to America to help run a children's camp when I was 18 in my gap year). DP did the same thing at 22 but they think nothing of that. If I do the 6 hour drive from where they live to us they comment on how brave I am but if dp does it it's fine.
DP says they're just being kind and I do understand that but it's just really grating and not the opinions I want my DD to grow up with. I want her to feel she is exactly as capable as any man and when they say things like that she looks at me in a different way.
Wwyd?
