My father's an old school male chauvinist pig,
the sort who don't actually go out of their way to insult women - they just believe they're inferior and don't mind who knows.

A few years ago, when my little niece was staying with my parents she got bored and unscrewed some fittings in the bathroom.

Dad was furious - how naughty! If she'd been a BOY it would've been clever, he fumed, but a GIRL shouldn't do things like that.
When I pointed out the obvious flaw in his logic, I was told not to be so stupid. Well, I'm only a woman, after all.

He regularly tells my mother how stupid she is. He recently asked her if she knew what she was talking about over something, because, he informed her, 'a lot of women don't, you know.'

At the moment he's in hospital, and the only person he wants visiting him is my brother, The Boy. Can't have women wasting his time, y'see.

Except for my mother, who does his washing.

Know Your Limits
I'm guessing he thought Harry Enfields 'Women Know You Limits' sketch was a documentary rather than satire.

Those sketches summed him up exactly.
Almost spookily accurate.
