I booted her from my house because of her anti-male hate speech
DEAR ABBY: We were playing cards at my house on a Friday night. On the way to making a point, I mentioned in passing my status as “the man of the house.”
My visiting sister-in-law interrupted and informed me that it is 2025 and I may not be a “man of the house.” I told her I most certainly am the man of my house, just as my wife is the woman of the house, and she (my SIL) was out of line trying to dictate what I may and may not call myself under my own roof.
She then excused her hateful comment by passing it off as a “joke,” which was totally unacceptable.
A huge row ensued, and anti-male hate speech spewed from my SIL’s mouth. She spent the next eight minutes telling me what an awful person I am and made clear that because she has done favors for my wife and me, it justifies her use of sexist hate speech.
I told her to leave, which she did the following morning, lamely excusing her behavior by saying “she meant no malice.”
What does Dear Abby think of this mess?
