See what I mean? Completely missed the point and tosses in an ad hominem.

No no no no no no.... lol You misunderstood.
I think my father was being sexist towards men by thinking that men should not be able to express emotions that he feels are only meant for women. Ex. Crying from happiness at a wedding.
Please, do yourself a favour and don't tell other people what you think they are thinking.
Nice try though. ;3
No, see the point is that what your father is being sexist towards women. Just to make sure, this is unrelated to "women can never be sexist." This is its own thing and is a bit simpler.
Your father is insulting a man by comparing him to a woman. First order logic would say this is sexist against men, right? He's insulting men! But the way he is insulting men is by saying women are inferior, and saying this man is like a woman.
This pretty much sums this whole issue up.

thank me later.
And yes, sexism has TWO sides in the gaming world. I'm sick of women acting like victims and ignoring the opposite side.

explains it better than I know how.
Has nothing to do with thinking women are inferior, and he has never said or implied any such thing.
Simply put, he has a problem with men acting a certain way.
He was insulting a man by saying that they could/should not share the same emotions women do.
And you do not know my father. So don't pretend to know what he thinks either. :) Thanks for the laughs though.
I'll thank you now~ lol /bow
Edit: Posted the videos on facebook for the lulz. :3
I, frankly, am saddened that prudes like Neomarl still exist. It's this kind if inane puritanism that made the devs alter the way Mithra sat in FFXI, because sitting fully clothed with their legs slightly parted offended someone.
If anything, the devs need to learn to stop listening to the player base on moral issues, they sacrafice their vision for an ultra-tiny percentage of the population and the cost in time and employee pay they spend trying to please these people isn't worth retaining a couple subscriptions of people who live with sheltered viewpoints.
