Are women ever taught to respect men?

My grandmother did. She was very old fashioned and she led by example. She was always soft spoken and gentle to my grandfather who was always protective and respectful to her in return. And my mom's best advice in regards to men is to keep your man the way you got him.

So yeah. A few of us have been taught to respect men.

I've met women like that. I think sex has alot to do with it. We hold being sexually attractive in such high regard in the U.S. to the point that attractive women basically getting what they want(as such so they don't HAVE to treat you respectively ) all the time is acceptable. And men don't help the situation by endorsing it with money and attention. BUT I think there are just as many women as there are men who generally treat people poorly. Its just that men don't have the sexual influence that women do. Find the right one...and you better treat her equally well, because a woman who is attractive, smart, funny and nice...she doesn't stay single long. I've got one; she treats me great...Hope I helped.

Older generations of women/girls were thought that, and boys were taught to respect women.

Nowadays, parents don't give so much emphasis on teaching their children(boys and girls) that they should respect men/women, BUT you'll definitely find some households where boys are thought to respect women; households where girls are thought to respect men - you probably won't find many of those; reason for this: no father figure(too many kids raised by single moms), father is the first man a daughter learns she has to respect, no father - no respect towards men in general.

Yes, I think if you have a good father who does his job properly, you are taught to respect men and respect yourself around men.

Sadly these days many young girls grow up without good fathers as role models to teach them how to be around guys.

Or they see a succession of 'boyfriends' and 'uncles' treating their mother badly so they build up a very bad image of what they think men are like and take the attitude that they will treat the guy badly first, before he gets the chance to do that to them.

But if you have a good father you learn that some men can be trusted, respected and relied on. And therefore you behave towards men accordingly.

Ive always treated anyone i meet with respect, regardless of sex. But unfortunately I have been treated terribly by men in the past (through no wrong doing of my own). I don't respect men any less, but it has knocked my ability to trust them, which is a terrible thing to say really but they you are. Not all men treat ladies like princesses and not all ladies think they have the right to belittle men

Not anymore. Like you said, girls are taught that being disrespectful to men is "empowering" and justifiable because men are such horrible creatures anyway.

Most people don't know the difference between common courtesy and respect. Common courtesy is something you should show everyone, not just for their sake but for your own as well. Respect (real respect) on the other hand, is EARNED.

Women nowadays want to respect simply for being born. Can you really respect a person who has not earned it?

I was never told "respect men," but I have been told to show respect for other people in general.

In my opinion, there are two types of respect. There's respecting someone as a human being, and then there's respecting someone as a superior. The first type of respect should be shown by both sexes for each other automatically. The second type of respect needs to be earned.

In todays world does anyone actually have any respect for anyone????

maybe you live in america or something but most men in england dont open doors and dont treat woman princesses.they treat them like MEAT but thats because most woman except this treatment and some even like it.woman dont have any respect for themselfs anymore..i talk to pple how they talk to me.

Yes is my answer i was taught to be respectful to men shame the half of england wasnt...xxx

No, and thanks for bringing this up to me. I never realized how much of a double standard this is. I will for sure work on this, and when I have a daughter I'm going to teach her to respect the men who respect her.

Yes, but it was my older brother who did that.

EDIT: Judge, I didn't try to make it look like that at all! I even added that it was my brother who did - because my parents didn't, it's not a 'normal' part of raising. I didn't say annnything about anyone else.

EDIT: Apologies, didn't notice her username there.
