First, when you use the word “daughter” to describe your offspring, you are assigning gender roles. Tread carefully.
Talk to your daughter about the teacher. Explain concepts that she may be unfamiliar with, such as sexism and what an “asshole” is.
Misogyny might just be an indicator of early onset dementia or late onset immaturity…
Talk to the school’s principal. If the first thing he says is, “Hey! Calm down, sweet cheeks” expect progress to be slow and hard-won…
Make sure that your daughter knows that she’s just a smart and capable as any man… except Batman, of course, because he’s just AWESOME.
Ask that your daughter be put in a different classroom… but not the one with the kid that smokes and the girl with one eye.
Remember that adversity makes us stronger and ultimately more successful. That’s why there were so many wealthy ex-slaves in the nineteenth century.
Talk to the teacher on neutral ground about your fears. To be more persuasive, perhaps show a little cleavage.
Relax! Your daughter is simply being prepared for career in the military.
The misogynist teacher probably just has low self-esteem. When you see him, compliment him on his appearance or skill as a teacher. Then, when he turns his back, cut him… cut him up bad!
When you said neutral ground I thought you were referring to a rifle range 🙁

Supergirl is pretty awesome too, but that’s because I think she’s hot.

She’s hot in an Ally McBeal sort of a way. My favorite female superhero is Ripley from the Alien movies. Resourceful, almost super-human resolve… Without her, the movies would’ve been just a series of jump-scares…

I laughed out loud at the women and tools quip. And I loved my super hero girls – I like Ripley too, but Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2 was my “who I want to be when I grow up to kill aliens” mentor. “Talk to the school’s principal. If the first thing he says is, “Hey! Calm down, sweet cheeks” expect progress to be slow and hard-won…” made me laugh too 🙂

I remember Hamilton one-handedly racking that shotgun. It’s funny how the toughest women in movies are either mothers or acting as surrogate mothers. Actually, it isn’t surprising after you’ve been around mothers for a while…

What if your daughter doesn’t care about Batman because she’s a Marvel kid?
