SaWaDiKa's Things

What would you do if you're little brother say a misogynistic line like from those alpha bros podcast?

This happens today. Me, my little sister, and my MOM we're chilling in the sofa and was watching a tv. When my little brother, who's a junior in highschool start saying one of the most misogynistic statements I've heard in my entire life.

Before that I'd like to say that I'm a woman, a feminist. I usually teach my younger siblings different from what is thought by our immediate community, help them understand complex thing in a society, and always offer different perspective to exposed them in diverse and critical thinking.

Our family (specifically parent) is a devoted Catholic, when i say devoted really-really devoted. Gurll, mind you I'm the only one in our family who's agnostic. It's only been day one, the FIRST DAY and TODAY SUNDAY'S my little brother start serving church as sacristan.

Oh boy, do you know how fucking pissed, triggered, and mad I am when I heard him say to us ON REPEAT, quote word for word:

“Men are above women. Women are servants of men.”

Then continue to explain that it what was WRITTEN in the BIBLE. I might be agnostic but oh boy the Jesus in the bible isn't an advocate of such a belief, but a result of centuries religion and societal conditioning and manipulation.

I CAN FUCKING TELL YOU THAT MY MIND WAS TWEAKING ON THE GUTTER. LIKE BITCH YOU MIGHT BE MY BROTHER BUT I'M A WOMEN FIRST. WHO GAVE YOU A FUCKING AUDACITY TO SAY THAT IN FRONT OF MY FACE, IN OUR FACE?!?!? HE EVEN HAD THE FUCKING NERVE TO GO LOOK AT MY MOM STRAIGHT IN THE EYES AND REPEAT THOSE EXACT PHRASES. I HAVE A LOT TO SAY BUT FUCK THAT AIN'T MY BROTHER HE WAS FUCKING POSSESSED AF FUCK.

So in that moment what did I do? I jokingly attacked him, and attempt to slap the shi out of him but unfortunately he managed to dodge fast. bro is lucky as fuck that it only hit his shoulder, because I WASN'T JOKING and literally PUT ALL MY STRENGTH ON THAT SLAP. And yes, my mom scold me, for it happens to leave a red mark on him. WORTH IT BUT NOT ENOUGH. call me a brute or a bad sister but I genuinely don't what to do and that's my initial impulsive reactions to do.

I was really disgusted, it's like I've been stabbed and betrayed, and it's even worse because that's MY LITTLE BROTHER. I really felt like crying right now, I don't know what to do... please I need some advice.
