Sexism at its best

As I sit here, at my uncles house, trying to figure out why my chat isn’t working , “WHAT THE FUCK, WHY IS THE ANGEL A GIRL,” radiate from the livingroom. Its my *cough cough older* cousin, who is protesting the fact that there is a female angle on their tree, as opposed to what???? a MALE angle?? I don’t know, hearing it practically made steam come out of my ears, so I decided to go out there and see why he thought that having a female on the tree was sooooo..........ridiculous?? But as they say it, timing is everything, and just as I walked out, I saw my uncle pull out his lighter, which is in the shape of a naked women, and when u open the top, a hollering sound starts playing, and the nipples light up *facepalmz* And then, at that very moment, I had a epiphany. Here, my uncle sat with this half naked female *figure* in his hands, and next to him, my cousin sat, screaming and shouting about how stupid it was to have a female on top of their tree. And at that very moment, everything made sense. Like father, like son, but the answer can’t be THAT simple. So I began to think, “what the hell would compel my cousin, who is 14 or 15?? To ALREADY protest the fact that females are what?? Represented?? On his tree?? I never in my life have ever heard such a ridiculous conversation taking place:
KID: “Dad, you can’t keep that up there, go buy a star or something”
DAD: “There is no way I am leaving the house right now”
KID: “Okay, then take the angel down, I don’t want that shit on MY! Tree (uhummm HIS tree??)
DAD: “Yeah, Yeah, we will go by a star tomorrow.”
That was his answer?? His kid protests to the fact that there is a female angel on their tree, and the dads response is don’t worry we will go buy a NON female angel tomorrow? I really can’t believe that I have stayed this quiet, throughout this entire scene, but I think that it is best not to answer or argue. I mean after all, its his kid right? But the disgusting comments that are spewing from his mouth are not just HIS KIDS, they are made loud and clear, for all of us to hear. Now I know it is ridiculous to get so angered over what a teenage kid has decided to scream for I think 10 minutes now? But! If his opinions are sooooo strongly formed at this point, what is there that I myself can do??? .........sighs, nothing I suppose. And even if I tried to silence the uneducated little brat, how long would that last for? 30 min? Until I left? Because surely then he would return to his psychotic and ridiculous argument about the poor little female angel that adorns HIS tree.
