To call him a little girl...

At the weekend we went out for something to eat, me, husband and two children (son 7 and daughter 8). When we got into the resturant there was a little argument between kids on where they were going to sit. Son raised his voice a little and refused to sit down, I dealt with it and after 30 secs he did sit where I had told him to. Nothing so bad it needed anymore said.
Husband came back from the bar and grabbed son off his chair and took him outside, I am not sure all of what was said. Son came back and after husband had gone back to the bar son told me his Dad had called him a little girl! He said Dad said girls moaned and that was what he was doing! He was upset about it.
I have spoken to husband about it as i think its disgusting he is saying that but he doesn't see anything wrong with it.
Have I overreacted?

@UdoU

Who says she doesn't? It's implicit from OP's language that she wasn't happy with her H grabbing her son.

I didn't pick that up at all, otherwise I wouldn't have commented on the OP lack of concern. The OP spoke of the language used being a problem, not the grabbing.

What a twat. He manages to belittle your son and your daughter in one swift effort.

This sums it up perfectly

Meh, you will say worse to your daughter about boys in time, I promise you.

Yeah your husband is an asshole

Ha. Don't think so. Criticise a boy, yes. Sweeping statements about all boys, no.

Well that's a good start to some misogynistic parenting. DH needs some educating.

How? I've never heard anyone say to their daughter "stop that, you're behaving like a right little boy!"
