You be the judge: should my sister help me challenge our brother’s sexist views?

Maybe she thinks that, as the eldest, I’ve got it covered, but Layla needs to learn how to stick up for herself We’re a big football family, but Tom has a problem with female commentators and the women’s game.

One time when Tom was going on about how women have it easier at work than men, Layla snapped and told him he was talking rubbish.

I don’t think she needs to be debating our brother all the time – but correcting his views is good practice for other situations in life, and I want to see her grow in confidence.

I know she wants to stand up for what’s right, but while Mina can go back to her flat after an argument, I have to deal with the aftershocks in our home, and it can take everyone time to calm down.

Mina needs to stop taking the bait and trying to perfect her siblings – it sounds like they’re fine when she isn’t around.

It’s totally reasonable that Layla is prioritising a harmonious living environment over the antagonism that drives her siblings’ relationship.
