I am struggling to find an adjective for someone who disregards the ideas and opinions of anyone that they think are not at the same level as them.
For example, a brother or husband who disregards the ideas and opinions of his sister or wife but he will listen to the ideas and opinions of a parent, friend or mentor (who may be male or female).
It is not a problem of class. It is more of a familial attitude, though it could border on patriarchial.
I have looked at the following words but they don't seem to convey what I want to say: arrogant, superior, patronizing, condescending.
I appreciate your input.

Perhaps a more general word could be applicable.
Example: He disregarded his wife's argument because of his biased views he got from his father.
