He already blocked me, so that's done. We only ever interact on his terms. Well, unless we're at home and he's bugging me incessantly, but if I decide to set terms for our interacting he whines about what a selfish jerk I'm being.

Tom Brady is the quarterback for the Patriots. (I only know this because again...brother. lol. He is a diehard Colts fan and pretty much hates anything to do with the Patriots.)

I see where you're coming from with your advice, but I feel like if everyone just put up with stuff like that on the grounds that you can't change people, nobody would ever talk about sexism or any other important issues. Nor am I trying to get him to change - I might not like him very much because of the way he acts, but here I am just trying to change his views, not him as a person, and see if he can understand the issue a little bit more. Because if nobody ever does that how will our society progress?

At any rate, thanks for the feedback. It is important to remember that you can't control other people, and even trying to change things for the better doesn't always have good results. ngl though, it's frustrating as fuck. x.x

It *is* frustrating, and you totally have my sympathy on that count.

It just seems that you've already made your objections very clear to him, and he's made it equally clear that he's not interested in doing anything about it at this time. You're currently at an impasse. So you're left with a pretty sucky choice, which I don't envy you.

But I'm also getting the impression he's not that old? You said you're both in college, right? It's possible he just has some more growing up to do, and he may do it best if he's not kept on the defensive about it.

I'm not so much suggesting that you give up as take the long view. If you give him time and he fails to get any better, the options of going back to arguing with him or walking away will still be there.

At any rate, I wish you the best of luck and hope you arrive at a solution that works for you.

Yeah, he definitely has a lot of growing up to do.

I should take a long-term view and I sort of do, but I don't want to be emotionally invested in someone if I don't know if it will work out in the long run. I distance myself for long periods of time. Maybe in five years or so...idk.
