Moran describes the kind of blatant sexism that used to persist, the type that you didn't have to think twice about as anything other than putting you in your place as a woman. Today, Moran claims Sexism is alive and well in society however it has taken a different form, one that is more subtle and may take you until hours later while you are lying in bed to realise, he was being sexist! If however, you realise what is actually being said (as it is being said) and like me, you are shamefully slow-witted, take Moran's advice and hit him where it hurts, insult his manners!
Say; "thats quite uncivil actually Pat" or "thats a bit impolite John", this way you're no crazed Feminist who is instantly discredited for being a man-hating lesbian, you are simply more polite than them and calmly getting the upper hand. In my opinion, you're doing yourself a favour here, sexist comments are irritating and disappointing but they're not worth the argument, instead oust him as a manner-less fool and let him secretly wallow in that for a bit while you move on.
This will not however work on all men, .i.e those who couldn't care less about such things as manners in which case, deal with them as you will.
We're not exactly beginning a rebellion here, we're just playing these men at their own game, avoiding the drama, that's for another day.
