I need help on how to explain to my step dad that what he does is wrong
So since my parents have to stay home more often because of covid I see my step dad more often and I’m realizing a lot of wrong things that he does that really makes me uncomfortable. He makes jokes on very sensitive topics and thinks that it’s funny and ok to say, and is also very hypocritical about how people should act (men vs women) and it all just makes me angry every time he’s around. I dont know if it is my place to speak up or not....does anyone have any advise?

You should try telling him what you think what he's doing is wrong, but then again, if he doesn't change, try to interact with him as less as possible. Because in your case, I'm not sure if he's an obedient listener, he might even throw hands on you. I'm just worried about you man (;´∩`;). Just try being polite with your words when telling him t...... reply
If I were you, I would be roundabout it. I would make up some statement or take one from the internet, something similar to the subject your dads talking about, then, I will say how much I hate it and how bad it is. So now if you do that, your dad will not feel attacked because your talking about something else, but will feel bad or maybe understan...... reply
I think firstly you should talk to your mom. Depending on the topics he is making light of , he seems to be a questionable character. If not then that's good ~
Talk to your mom and have her sit with you while you explain to your step father what is making you uncomfortable. Ask him to please at least respect you as an individual as to not speak of ...... reply
