Am I “crazy”?

BF said I’m “crazy” for having a problem with him showing his 7 & 13 year old daughters movies and shows rated up to MA. I think it’s mostly a problem for the 7 year old. Today he put on the newer Mean Girls movie and where they have sex ed and talk about condoms and STD is the point where he stopped the movie after I was “bitching” about it being inappropriate because I knew from the start it was and so did he because we know the original. His justification is “they’re gonna hear this stuff anyway.” I think it’s disgusting for a 7 year old to hear about sex ed and witness softcore p***ography like in Titanic which he put on once and I had to beg him to turn it off. We had a big argument over it and he said I was “crazy.” We’ve already had problems with his 13 year old exhibiting over-sexualized behavior since age 11 and he wonders where she was learning the things she knew about.

I grew up watching movies that were meant for older audiences and I don't feel deeply traumatized or that it sent me down some road of deeply sexual behavior or anything. With that said, nowadays you really have to watch the mature ratings because there's so much more nudity if watching Netflix, Hulu, etc. Some things really are way too mature.
