Why does feminism teach men to respect women when it encourages women to behave in a way no one would respect?

Respect is earned by your choices, decisions, and behavior. As I have said many time before:

"We want whatever we want. Stop trying to confuse me with details, facts, and reason!" That about sums up the feminist mentality. You hear them all the time keep asking questions about why "GS men" won't accept this or that lie. We "GS men" posts all the facts and prove that it is a lie and they are completely unfazed. Then they post the same question again, even though it was proven a lie. Like all women's groups, sewing circles, etc, they are only looking for emotional support for what they want....they do not care if what they want is fair, they don't want to hear fact or reason of any kind (unless it supports what they want). And what they want is to FEEL equal. It has nothing to do with fairness, actually being equal, taking on equal responsibilities, or anything else involved in equality gained through equal opportunity. They throw out "equal treatment", "equal opportunity", "equal treatment under the law" etc but then complain they don't get it because the outcome isn't equal. So they demand that quotas be implemented, standards be lowered for them, extra money and support be given to them, laws be biased in their favor. It is necessary you see because a level playing field didn't yield them an equal (or superior) outcome.

No amount of facts, reason, logic, or reality you try to bring to them will ever convince them they they are not getting an equal outcome because they are not equal. They must just need more rights and privileges (unequal treatment) for them to overcome this perceived sexism that is holding them back. Even when we bias everything in their favor, give them 4 times the advantages that men have to get an equal outcome for them, they still aren't satisfied. And of course men still don't get any credit for doing anything for them...."there is still sexism, but us women are good enough to overcome it is all". You can't win, so their is no point in trying to placate a woman...ever!

I do respect men. My Mum does all the house work and cooks for my Dad my older sister does the same for her husband, I open doors for both guys and girls. I'm sorry that it appears that a lot of women don't just realize that those selfish women with double standards are not representations of all of us, but due to feminism it can appear that the majority of women are this way.

I understand the world is not easy for most - men or women - and that we all have a part to try to help and I do not restrict my help to women only. This is the time of year to give to charities and I give to charities that support men and women alike. I try to behave in an ethical and respectful manner as much as I can.

I have often felt the same as you but for MRA - that they sabotage themselves with their prejudice and irrationality against feminists so I understand what you are trying to say here. I also have come to understand through GS that there are MRAs that support feminists too - that these two ideas are not mutually exclusive.

I do disagree in terms of forcing a woman to have your baby, though. If a women was pregnant with your child and you had a good relationship with her, she would likely take your views into consideration. However, if you used her for sex and then dumped her, she might not think you would have the best interests of her and the baby in mind. I would hate to see misogynist men going around and purposely impregnating women right left and centre so could force these women to have babies for them and they could have an army of children that they likely would not be able to look after. What if the women died in child-birth - would they have any responsibility? I'm sorry this idea is a nightmare dystopian scenario that would not work. This is an impossible demand and you know it.

i understand that you - as is true of lots of men - simply just don't "get it" ---- and no matter how many times we go over the logic of the arguements or show you the stats, guys just don't "get it" --- so fine, we have put up a wall of laws and federal acts that support our POVs --- so if you just don't "get it" that a woman who chooses to have an abortion --- even if it's YOUR baby ---- still has the right to control her body (just for instance), then ther's nothing legally you can do about it.

not the best answer, either for women or for the men, but the best we have at this time, ok?

Feminists:

"EQUAL RIGHTS! EQUAL RIGHTS!"

"You can't hit me im a girl!"
