The question is completely valid, and I suppose to individuals who do spend time dealing with people who disrespect them, it would be worth discussing. I just personally think the question shouldn't even be an issue and so therefore there should be no reason to bring it up to discuss.
It's petty because you are worrying about individuals (disrespectful females) who aren't worth your time, let alone your thoughts. Allowing PEOPLE in general to get you riled up because of their illogical views on whom should respect them seems idiotic to me. Therefore, I feel like it's an insignificant topic. If these individuals feel entitled to have your respect without mutually giving you respect then let them continue to have delusions of grandeur and leave them alone.
As much as I hear about this topic I rarely meet women who actually think they deserve respect without good reason. Furthermore, the women I do meet are very respectful of PEOPLE, which of course includes men.
Lastly, who gives a fug? You really gonna sit there and whine about how men should have more responsibility for the way they treat women, regardless of how the woman is acting? Why does this frustrate you, I feel like I would be frustrated only if I was consistently being disrespected by women, or if I felt insecure and couldn't meet these "expectations" of men. So what is it then?
Be an effin MAN, plain and simple. Suck it up and DEAL WITH IT. Take pride in yourself being better then others and how society (the dumb part) still expects more out of men. Allow these dumb women to continue to show that equality is nonexistent in their little worlds. Because as they disrespect you and demand your unearned respect, they are spitting on women's rights and equality. They just don't realize it, that's how dumb they are and how much you shouldn't be hanging around them.
Or else, like I said before, STOP hanging out with LITTLE GIRLS and say hi to a real woman for change. This wouldn't be an issue for you.
