I made the (unbeknownst to me at that time) mistake of meeting up for brunch with cousin. 
 

He is becoming more and more misogynistic (and cheap) by the day. 
 

Every topic where I never brought up gender, for him started/ended "well men feel like this too" and "men shouldn't pay half in divorce" and "men always have the short end of the stick in court" (which his ignorant comments began falling on deaf ears since he pretended to forget *I* spent thousands in the court systems to try to get them to hold my child's deadbeat accountable but at the end of the day the system let this loser waltz out of court - never to be seen by his own child again. And I'm quite sure my cousin has never actually been in family court where majority are women are chasing down deadbeats.) 

I didn't feel like being roped into debates I wasn't getting paid to do  

Last thing I want to hear, after dealing with a misogynistic "man" daily, is more misogynistic beliefs from my own male cousin. 

Then, when we were at the restaurant, my cousin sat there rambling non-stop (mostly about how bad men have it in life)  ... for hours! To the point the waitress had to keep asking him what he wanted to order and he blew her off multiple times, took forever to order, held up her table from turning over, then acted dumbfounded the manager allowed her to automatically include gratuity even though it was just a party of 2  saying "oh so since she added the tip on I'm not adding anything else! I would have given her more but she added the

tip already" .... in my mind I'm thinking "yeah you sat here and held her table up for hours, you obviously don't understand how waitresses earn a living, and she wants to ensure she gets paid" and "um no you wouldn't have given her more of a tip because you're cheap" 

I know who I will NOT be eating fine dining with  because he obviously doesn't understand dining out etiquette  

Minus my cousins heavily male - centered conversations (which I'll be more cognizant of changing the topic Or, I will recommend an activity where he can't spew his extremist beliefs, if I meet up with him again soon) I refused to let anyone deprive me of my enjoyment of this past weekend and still enjoyed myself not having to cater to Disneyland dad not his entitled disrespectful spawns
