Unless you know something we dont, that wont work. Sokka was the only warrior in his tribe due to all of the men going off to fight and had no actual combat experience. From what I remember he got his butt handed to him by Zuko during their first encounter.

They could change that too. He goes from being the only warrior to the best warrior. A teen who can outfight the men can surely see himself as able to outfight women. As for his insecurity, and why he has it, that too would some sort of substitution plot. Without having watched the show, I couldn't volunteer one. If I said that his older brother was always the better fighter, that might ignore him being an orphan.

It's sort of like telling a lie. You sometimes have to come up with the second, third, and fourth lie to create the scenario in which the first lie could be a truth.

From what I gather in this topic, he's sexist because he's insecure. If they go back to why he's insecure, they could take a different path at the crossroads. It won't have the same significance as learning respect for others (and by extension learning self-respect), but I'm willing to believe there are other places that they could take his story arc.
