Mortified six-year-old boy hangs his head in shame as father launches sexist rant at Post Office

[Liberal_in_LA]

A father has been filmed launching a sexist rant at Post Office workers in Los Angeles while his embarrassed son hangs his head in shame.

As stunned customers look on, the man abuses a female member of staff for not treating him 'with respect' before telling her: 'I gotta put you in your place because you're a woman and I'm a man.'

Meanwhile, standing just behind him, his mortified six-year-old son tries to hide his face in his hat, apparently having seen the entire act before.

1. Amazing that the kid gets it...at six...

And the father doesn't...poor kid has probably heard some other disturbing stuff.

20. more kids "get it" than you realize.

I grew up with a similar dad.

I "got it" at a very early age.

21. Do you think seeing the reactions of those your father acted this way to...

Helped in your understanding of it? I bet the kid in this post ahsn't seen this before.

22. I can bet you any amount he's seen it before.

when you grow up with it, you get continually embarrassed.

the first time, you don't know what's going on.

the second time, you see how people react.

the third time, you realize something is seriously wrong

and for every time after that, you know it's not right and you want to crawl into a hole.

this kid has seen and experienced it before.

Guys like this are really pathetic and unfortunately even their kids see it.
