Women and men both be treated with equal respect and shouldn't have certain standards for one gender. Uncle Jack had made super sexist comment to Scout, when he was aiding Scout after she had punched Francis. Uncle Jack said, "You'll have a very unladylike scar on your wedding-ring finger" (page 115). Implying that women aren't supposed to have scars, which is rude and stupid, because scars come from hard work, and being tough, so he's basically saying that women don't and are not supposed to work hard and do the dirty/ tough jobs.
I find Uncle Jacks comments extremely rude to women and totally unnecessary, its also wrong to think that women don't and shouldn't work as hard as men, because in reality women do risky and challenging tasks as good as men, and women definitely have as much potential and strength as men, so next time Uncle Jack should think before he speaks, and says something stupid again.
