What are some reasons why men should respect women?
I asked myself the same question one day and stoped to think about itl You see, the WOMEN you are currently talking about are what I love to call the "chicks" of our civilisation and have never and will never deserve to be called women. They are the rotten apples in the barrel of our planet. Along with "guys". Guys will never deserve the stature of men for the same reason as "chicks" because they will never have proven the one and only thing that differentiates them from Men and Women and that one thing is MATURITY. Unfortunately for us today, people seem to have found an infinity for wanting to stay spoiled, rotten, selfish little brats and not take the time to look at life and mature with it. That there, is why you need to respect women as much as they need to respect men, because women and men are people who have matured and have deserved respect as a person by letting go of there immatureness and are the ones who will live there lives trying to give an example to all of the spoiled little brats that suround them every day. That is also the reason why it is so hard to find a good person in our adult lives today, because trully mature adults are like pearls in the ocean. Don't get me wrong, there are alot of people out there who CONSIDER themselves as mature, but, age has never been a stepping stone in proving such a thing. Those ones are like those plastic pearls you buy at Walmart, a dime a dozen. The true pearls are the ones you meet seldomly and always seem to be already married. The ones that you wonder "Where the heck did he find an angel like that one?" So, be patient and keep your eyes open and you'll come to see what I mean. As long as you are one of the adults, you'll be able to find the difference. Hope this helped ;)
Are women ever taught to respect men?
I know that many men are taught by their parents, and by society, to respect women, treat them like ladies, and never hit them, never talk badly to them, and basically treat them like princesses. But it seems that women are taught to do the exact opposite to men. Women seem to think that it is "empowering", or something, to be rude to random men for no reason. Women, did anyone ever teach you to respect the opposite sex, or to show respect to people in general?
How do you make your sons respect women?
I don’t think you “make” your kids do things. That implies a level of control that, past infancy, you don’t have (and shouldn’t have anyway).If you want your sons to respect women, then lead by example. Respect woman yourself. If you are a woman, expect and require respect from them (e.g. don’t be a doormat). If you are a man, respect your wife, your mother and all other women in your life.Remember that respect is also earned. There are lots of assholes in the world, and some of them are women. It’s okay to disrespect them, just don’t do it based on their gender.
How should I teach my brother to respect women, he is 19 yrs old and he don’t respect women neither at home nor outside…?
A2AHe is a teen and therefore should be handled properly. At this age they have a tendency to be rude and aggressive. They don't like to be controlled and guided. So, they see anyone who tries to restrict their movements or acts as potential enemies. This is ejected in the form of disrespect towards parents or elders. For the time being he's a rebel against the society. You can sit down with him and explain what he is doing wrong with love. If you show your temper he will show his. So, better handle with care. With time he will realise his mistakes and would self-reform.
I always hear that women are better than men and deserve more respect. Why is this?
While I mostly agree with the Answers here, and wholeheartedly feel that women DO NOT get the respect they deserve in a lot of situations, there does exist an idealogical system that supports the notion that women "deserve more respect".From a very young age, I was taught:Never hit a girl/womanOpen / hold her doorDrop her off close, then park the car and walkPull out her chairStand when she enters a roomOffer your jacket if she is chilledDefend her in awkward situationsAllow her to order first / order for herAsk her out and pay for datesWalk her to the doorBe the initiatorBe the strong oneWalk on the outside of the sidewalkFetch the car in the rainSend her flowers or giftsCarry her bagsOffer to carry the heaviest stuffKnow when to acknowledge, compliment and PDA her, and when not to.Share your umbrellaGet to know her parents and friends, and like, and be liked by themRemember every "special" day / momentLeave her notes and messagesBe spontaneous with great ideasAlways have cashShow them off, but keep personal things privateFill the gas tankTrap / kill the bugGet up and check out the noise downstairsThere are probably many other examples that were commonplace in days past. Many people call it "old-fashioned", but chivalry should never go out of style. I'd be interested to hear how young ladies are taught to respect men.
Should you respect women because they're women? I don’t respect anyone just because they’re a certain gender, and I think it’s sad that some feel that this needs to be taught to us.
All things being equal, no. You need to respect women because they’re human beings. You don’t need to legitimize that respect (the way we saw here in the US after “Pussygate”) by saying, “Oh, I have daughters, sisters, a wife, a mother, etc.” A statistically stunning 100% of all human beings have one of those (see graphic below). So all you need to say/do is respect women, period, at all times, no matter what. No need to explain that respect (and subsequently feign a case of the vapors when you —surprise!— find out that they are treated like shit every day of their lives).But all things are not equal. We live in a world where —while some women do have power, and some nations do a pretty good job— on the whole, humanity kind of sucks at respecting women, their bodies, their achievements and pretty much anything at all connected with them. Their contributions are not considered equally, and they are lectured by men on what feminism is, what date rape is. They are told how to manage their bodies and are blamed when they get raped.So, until we can say “all things are equal”, it’s important to highlight that appalling disparity and make sure that we respect women and adjust our behavior accordingly. Yes, some of that will mean that you adjust your tone of voice and what you say in ways that you wouldn’t say to men. You might look at your pal, Doug, and “mansplain” to him freely. But when you stop a female colleague at work and do the same, you should take into consideration the fact that in every meeting she’s shushed to silence, that her ideas aren’t respected —even when they’re the same as a male’s ideas—, that they are asked to do clerical duties multiples of times more than men (see: taking notes) which prevent them from contributing wholly during the meetings and are otherwise disrespected to a degree that would make a male bring an AK to work and gun down his coworkers.And you might go a step further and start identifying those behaviors in others. You might start calling them out on it. You might become an ally and start looking for way to level the playing field. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Let’s just start with your behaviors first. Respect women because they’re people.
Why don't some mothers teach their sons to respect women?
I would think all women would try to get their son's to respect women. That's where the father comes into play. If a son was raised in a home where the father abused [physically, sexually, or emotionally] the mother or clearly disrespected her then the child will do the same. I would say that is somewhat the mother's fault for staying with the man but sometimes the mother's father didn't respect her mother and the cycle continues. It has a whole heck of a lot to do with the father though. I think women can try and try to explain to their kids that you don't whistle at women, you don't treat women like animals, you don't hit others, but if Dad does those things then it shows that it IS okay. Sometimes mothers AREN'T respectable to begin with. If your mother dressed in whorish clothes, didn't give a care in the world about you, or slept around with other men then that gives the example that all women are like that. If she allowed men to treat her without any respect then that is what the son will learn. I hope this helps.
What are some ways to teach a guy to be more sensitive to women's feelings?
Ideally, this process should begin when the man is a little boy.His father or other male role model should be teaching the boy to respect women...all women... beginning with his mother and other women of the family.This lesson is primarily taught by the example of the father.As a boy matures and becomes interested in 'girls' it is time once again for the male role model to have 'the talk' (no, not that one) with the boy to the effect that 'girls' are women too and should be given all due respect.Now, as an adult, this young man will have a basis for which to make his decisions as to what type of young women he wants to date. If the issue of respect has been well engrained in him he will not be threatened by allowing the women he dates to be themselves and he will validate them as such.This attitude will produce all the sensitivity any woman needs or deserves.
