Yes, I believe his opinions will not change. Yes you should voice your opinion that it is making you feel uncomfortable. However do not expect him to just stop. He should honor your request, but it will take some time. However if you truly believe in equality, then try to make some steps in equaling out the male female social standards. If you do not know what I mean then obviously there is nothing you think should be fixed.

I had the same problem with my boyfriend when we started dating. Voice your opinion and show him that what he is thinking isn’t right. I didn’t force my views upon him, but from just being around me and some of my friends he became much more accepting. My boyfriend has come a long way from when I met him. He was very conservative and he is definitely more moderate now. If he really loves you, he will accept your opinions and respect you.

I think you need to talk with him about it. as Heather said his view probably won’t change however he needs to know the comments make you uncomfortable and are offensive. I believe everyone is entitled to their own view (though I disagree with your bf on this) so you shouldn’t let it become an issue in your relationship. He should respect your wishes to keep from this insulting talk and you should respect his opinion no matter how disagreeable.
