Respect for Women

  • Just let me say...

    You are right as far as I see it. But, in respect to women in general I would offer this little advice. Whether they realize it or not women are constantly advertising as men see it. So...

    -------------------------------------

    If you advertise "slut", "easy" or etc... then don't expect Mr. Respect to answer your ad. It's not always true but most of the time if a woman advertises "self respect" and etc...then whether it's friendship or something more that they desire it will not matter, for you will be fishing with the right bait and that is 90% of it.

  • Women and Respect...

    Maybe it is ture that SOME men not all men in general but SOME men did respect women times before now but I belive that us women need to gain respect from men as men need to gain respect from us women. Some pepole think women deserve respect just beacuse we are women...but I myself don't think thats true....we women are just like every one else....there is no excues...so yeah there you have it thats what i think.

  • Respect for Free- thinkers
    I respect a Girl who doesn't buy into all this 'don't be a slut' crap. Do whatever you feel like and if you feel like acting on urges like having sex, that doesn't make you a slut it makes you Human. Men aren't the only one to develop a sex drive and as a women you are entitled to fun as well.

    I seriously do think that Women are respected more now as equals than the slightly subservient, milder image they portrayed before. Many males can be a little over-respectful due the enigma they believe the female sex.

  • respect

    1st, respect yourself. 2nd, respect others. RESPECT COMES BY GIVING IT TO OTHERS.

  • Respect? do we still know what it means?
    Most places I go I see little respect for anything nm women. People are becoming more and more withdrawn, making them selfish and inconsiderate. There is hope, it is still out there. Just not as much as it should be.

  • It's sad
    A trmendous problem is now men are looked down upon. People say "what do you expect? He's a guy!". The average man will actually have alot of respect for a woman who wants to keep her virginity for you, only you, and until you are married. Men respect woman who don't desire getting attention. Men love it when they ask women to do things, and they do it. Men LOVE it when women are submissive and obey you even though you asked in a hash tone, or did it disrespectfully. A man who would not love a woman who submitted to you even though you asked in a way that the woman would be justified to rebuke, would be in a minority group and an idiot.

    Here is an example.

    My Father married this really good looking wife. He was deceived by her beauty. 3 DAYS after their marriage, she began to fight with him. If my father didn't do things exsactly the same way she wanted it to, she would get upset. She would cry in front of him to mkae him feel bad. She would beat on him (It's such a big blow on your masculinity if your wife starts hitting you). If your wife only brings you grief, and doesn't help you when you need it, then you're screwed. And instead of divorcing her right away, she used the words "I do" to remind him of the promise he made. Because of this, they remained married and had 2 children. And what sucks now is that she used her 2 children against him. She would threaten him with divorce, meaning he wouldn't be able to see them. But eventually he had a divorce.

    He married another woman (My mom). My mom would also act like his first wife. If my dad was in a rush, or in a bad mood, and wasn't able to talk sweetly torwards my mom (Even though he was nice to her 99% of the time) She would act *****y, and talk back at him. A normal person under stress, whenever talked back to, will not talk back nicely. If a wife doesn't help her husband, when he is stressed or in a rush, the husband will be in a ****y mood. Eventually, they would start yelling at eachother. And both my mother and father would feel like crap. My mother wouldn't be submissive. And my father wouldn't be getting the help (respect) that he needed. Whenever my mother cried in front of him (purposely), my dad would feel like ****. And get even more irrate. My dad never beat my mother though.

    But my mother knew she didn't like the marriage. And she wondered why the marriage wasn't working out. She learned about being submissive. And she decided to try it out. Whenever my dad wasn't able to speak nicely to her, she would still do what he desired. This caused what was needed to be done, to be done faster. And instead of making my dad frustrated, my dad would be able to be calm. And Like a normal man out there, there would be love and respect that he would give to my mom. Because if your wife is obeying you all the time. You WILL love her. And a nomal male will respect her. My mom would control her emotions untill she was alone. There she would cry, and feel better. As she wouldn't cry in front of her husband, her husband wouldn't become weak from all this drama. Now, because she does this, she loved her husband and vice versa. She is a loooooooot happier. And so is my dad. When my dad is stressed, She helps him. She is a huge blessing to him. When my dad asks for food, nourishment, a back scratching, or a tool, my mother would get it. Even if he didn't ask her in a polite way. She felt better doing it instead of fighting back. My dad would feel better all the time. And their marriage is the best marriage I have ever seen =)

    But if you expect respect, be a one who lives in it. Don't go around forccing respect out of men. Go respect men, and the respect that they give back will be more than you expected. If a man respects a woman who doesn't deserve it, women will have more a tendousy to become prideful (too much pride). This is hat I have noticed.

    But It's all your choice. As you can have a happy marriage were you aren't the ehad of the household, or a mrriage with a heavy hearted husband were you get the power.

  • Self Respect
    I agree with first. The way a man or woman (it goes both ways) present themselves is exactly how they will be taken by most.

    However, on the flip side, nobody should be disrespectful to another human being for the sake of being disrespectful. If you cannot respect the way a man or woman is, leave it alone, it isn't your place to judge them.

    As far as "advertising" as a "slut" or "easy" men also come across as a "slut" and "easy"... the bottom line... don't consider befriending, keeping company with or sleeping with someone you consider unworthy of your respect. It's really not that hard a concept to understand or follow. You're no better than the other (the one you can't respect) if you take advantage of the way they are.

    After all, gaining respect has a lot to do with self-respect too!!!

  • Well let's see

    I believe that men had more respect for women years ago as apposed {sp} to now. I believe some of that is do to men not being taught how to respect us and I think part of it is do to women not respecting themselves as much as they use to. It's a two sided coin and until both sides are shown and taken care of I don't think that we will get more respect but less.
