(from r/teenagers)

My brother is 12. I’m 14(female), turning 15 in a couple months. Its been a year since my brother started to give me weird looks and comment degrading things that adult incels say to women. I normally dress very baggy. The skimpiest things I have in my closet are tanktops, bikinis, and crop tops. Which again, I barely ever wear. The other day I was wearing an off shoulder oversized tshirt and he told me its weird that I’m showing my shoulder. When I’m wearing shorts and a bikini top for the pool, he gives me disgusted looks or tells me Im showing too much. Same goes for crop tops.

I get that when most boys enter the teen years, they form a sexist idea of women. I understand he’ll grow out of it once he’s older. The thing that irks me is that he is saying those things to me. His OLDER SISTER. It feels weird. Like I know strangers may sexualize me for simply being a woman, even boys my age. But MY BROTHER? He walks around the house shirtless ALL THE TIME. I’ve seen him walk around in his underwear and I havent made a single comment. Why? Because IM HIS SISTER.

Is this normal? Am I just being hypersensitive?

Edit: i forgot to mention, he keeps telling me how my chest is growing
