I am speaking in the U.S. Many older men expected women to wait on them hand and foot. An ex boyfriend and I had our father's over for Christmas Eve. We had dinner, I asked everyone if they wanted a drink. I got my father and others present drinks with my ex boyfriend's father declining. 10 minutes later, he looked at me and actually said I am ready for that drink. I looked at him, ready to politely tell him to stick it, when my father (amazing dad), looked at him and said I suggest you get your own drink, she asked us all 10 minutes ago and your tone is not acceptable.
