And the worst part? He’s conventionally attractive, so girls do want to talk to him. But he says things like, “They dress too much like streetwalkers.” Like—what?? How do I fix this? I always have to ask him, “Are you 50?” just to get him to shut up.

And you shut him down immediately, right? Because you're sticking up for his sister (your daughter!)? Holy moly. Have you talked to him about his incel tendencies? If my son were behaving like this, there would be consequences.

There's a lot wrong with the misogyny just as there's a lot wrong with your son's misogyny and the fact that he's lecturing you. You and op both need to get your son's together.
