Respect Is Just The Minimum

Why Don't Men Respect Women?

Men don't respect women because women don't respect themselves. Some women forget that the way you carry yourself becomes the perception others have of you. If you don't act like a lady, then you can't expect to be treated like one. However, that is only part of the problem. The other part is that women are not demanding respect. Some of us take words like "bitch" and "hoe" lightly and use them amongst each other yet wonder why some men feel that it is ok to use them as well. Truth is, it is not ok but if we accept it then we can't expect things to change. We as women need to realize that we deserve to be treated like the queens that we are because change starts with us. -Gia

Before you can answer the question of why don’t men respect women, you need to answer the question of who’s fault is it? Is it the women's fault that men don’t respect them or is it the men's fault? What about the parents or the media? There isn’t one definite answer to this question. As each new generation enter this world, respect for women minimizes. There is only so much blame you can put on everyone besides the women. A parent can only instill so many values into their child before the child starts to experience things and gain their own views. All the blame can’t be put on the men either. The only response I have to this question is, a person can only do to you what you allow them to. With that being said, the only way someone can disrespect you is if you allow them to. -Bonny
