What this man said about my daughter - huge red flag, right ??

I play a social sport and recently got to know a man in his 60s who also plays.

the conversation of kids came up and I said I had a daughter, who’s 5. And he went ‘ is she a bitch yet ?’…

I mean that’s fucking weird isn’t it ? I said, no she’s 5..and moved on and went home.

but someone who says that can’t be quite right, surely ? He has one grown up daughter himself.

AIBU to keep my distance big time here or am I overreacting to someone just clumsily trying to be funny ?

Just a misogynist

Rightandwrong · 07/09/2025 19:03

Total misogyny. Certainly not the type of guy I would want to have anything to do with.

Fridgetapas · 07/09/2025 19:05

Misogynist. I would have been disgusted.

Arlanymor · 07/09/2025 19:06

That's disgusting - I would have given him short shrift for that, even if he meant it as a joke.

The thing with jokes is... the main prerequisite is... that they have to be funny.

That would be a horrible thing to say about a grown woman but absolutely awful to say about a five year old innocent girl.
What on earth is wrong with people.

Miriabelle · 07/09/2025 19:07

That’s really disgusting. Major red flag.

plahin · 07/09/2025 19:07

Honestly I don’t even know what I said. I think I said what I wrote, but I’m not sure. I was just really shocked and got out of there as fast as possible.

Jesus Christ that’s appalling! I’d have been so shocked any semblance of politeness would have left my body!

MyAcornWood · 07/09/2025 19:07

What a rancid man. His poor daughter.

Leilaandtheloggerheads · 07/09/2025 19:08

Definitely odd. Benefit of the doubt would be that he had difficult teenage years with his daughter so it’s just the first thing that came out of his mouth. Never going to come across well though is it.

Marylou2 · 07/09/2025 19:09

How vile and totally inappropriate. If he spoke to me again I'd just walk away.

786BoobyMum · 07/09/2025 19:11

He honestly doesn't sound right in the head.

Most mysoginist are still socially aware enough not to say something so unhinged

QuantumPanic · 07/09/2025 20:01

Gross. At least you know who he is, now.

coxesorangepippin · 07/09/2025 20:03

Yeah, avoid him

God help me

StrongandNorthern · 07/09/2025 20:04

Awful.

tartyflette · 07/09/2025 20:04

Nasty creep. Yes, avoid.

HRTQueen · 07/09/2025 20:07

What a revolting man a total misogynist

Girls from a young age are so often labelled manipulative

Comedycook · 07/09/2025 20:09

What a fucking weirdo....give him a wide berth

Evaka · 07/09/2025 20:09

Uber creep.

BatchCookBabe · 07/09/2025 20:15

God, why do (some) men say such twatty cunty things, and think they're terribly funny?! Hmm

I have had experience of a couple of different men saying similar shit to me this past few weeks, and can't believe that even in my 50s, in the 2020s, I am having to listen to this shit! Really sexist, creepy, pervy stuff that belongs in the dark ages. I don't know why they do it/say it. Do they think they're funny, clever, charming? I don't know, but it makes me feel queasy. Whenever a random man tries to be funny, I have this look >>> Hmm

And saying this about a little girl is sick and disturbing.

mmmarmalade · 07/09/2025 20:27

Are your absolutely sure that's what he said? It's very odd if correct, appalling actually.

VimFuego101 · 07/09/2025 20:32

I’m desperate to hear why 5% of people voted you were being unreasonable… how can anyone justify that?

IwasatClaines · 07/09/2025 20:38

Horrible. He probably has daughters who are all nc with him!

TalulahJP · 07/09/2025 20:39

Wonder if he was a dick at 5

Coz he sure is one now.

IShouldNotCoco · 07/09/2025 20:40

what a vile man.
