A mum has been left raging after her 14-year-old daughter detailed a 'sexist' interaction between herself and her male school teacher. The woman explained that her daughter returned home 'fuming' after her teacher was 'inappropriate' for making 'unfair' remarks during a lesson.
Taking to popular forum Mumsnet, the mum questioned whether she was being unreasonable to think that her daughter's teacher was out of line.
She explained: "I don't know what exactly to think of this... my 14-year-old daughter came home from school the other day absolutely fuming."
"When questioned on what happened, she told me that her (male) teacher had been really sexist and unfair."

She went on: "She said that when she offered to help carry something to another classroom, she was told to sit down and let one of the boys do it.
"She then told the teacher that she was perfectly capable and happy to help, but he stuck to his guns and asked one of the boys to carry the box to the other classroom.
"My daughter and her friends were outraged and spent the rest of the lesson talking loudly about modern day misogyny and the influence Andrew Tate has on vulnerable men and teenage boys."
Captioning the post, the mum questioned: "Am I being unreasonable to think my daughter's teacher was inappropriate?"
Taking to the comment section, Mumsnet users shared their thoughts - while others thought the teacher was 'sexist', others admitted that they'd be unfazed by the ordeal.
One person wrote: "She's right, he sounds pretty sexist. Good on her and her friends for taking a stand!"
A second penned: "He was sexist and it might be an idea to flag it up to the head... Maybe not even giving names but highlighting that maybe there needs to be some training.
"Although you'd have thought it would be unnecessary by now, 2023," they added.
Meanwhile, a different user admitted: "This wouldn't bother me in the slightest. I wouldn't mind at all if my daughter's teacher thought it was a boy's job to carry heavy stuff."
