Is it normal that my family reacted this way?

ok so one of my uncles was asking inappropriate questions about my sex life and even after i told him i had a problem with him asking such questions, he continued to ask anyways. so i decided that even though I'm 20, i would tell my dad so he could help sort the creep out. anyways he did and now the rest of my family are angry. they said i was being immature and that guys always ask about your sex life. is there reaction to me doing something about this normal?

    No its not normal they shouldn't be angry.

    They're probably thinking that your uncle didn't mean anything by it, and I don't know your situation he may not have. But regardless it doesn't matter, the fact is that you told him it made you uncomfortable and when he didn't stop you went to your father and had him help, which is exactly what you should've done.

    You handled yourself in a very professional manner, so your family can get over it.

    Sorry darlin, that's the price women pay when they speak out about predators .... ignore these fuckwits, by attacking you they're supporting him, just like most of the rest of the world. If they think it's normal for an older man to ask a young female relative about her sex life when she doesn't want to talk about it, they are NOT normal.

    It's great that your Dad spoke to him after your response had no effect but typical that you, the woman, are being blamed and not the uncle or your dad.

    It would be good if you could learn other responses to creeps like your uncle: for example, just stare at him and say nothing until HE feels uncomfortable or just walk away without saying anything. The fact that he persisted after you said you were uncomfortable indicates to me that he was getting off on your discomfort.

    Also, maybe you could shut these stupid relatives up by asking them intrusive questions, not necessarily about sex, maybe about their bank accounts or something else private, and see how they like it.

    Why are they angry at you? He was asking things, was it your responsibility not to say anything? You told him how you felt about it
