nomadrebell Posted July 19, 2003 hani it depends what kind of a woman you are to demand respect. if you are low life sister- spreading what her somali mother gave to everyone in town; then you will wait my respect forever. but if you are inteligent woman; down to earth; a good muslim one; then you will get all my attention and respect.

underdog Posted July 19, 2003 Respect is not a $20 bill that one pulls out of a wallet. Its a general admiration and trust that you cannot quantify. You might as well come out and say "Women should demand love". It's not up to you. diffrent people have different standards, it might take very little for me to give you respect and much more effort on your part for the next guy to respect you. Bottom Line is Respect is a priviledge not a right. Thats why everyone doesn't get respected. Live right and be mindful of other peoples needs and you will get respected. If you do all you can and don't get the respect you deserve, by all means kick him to the curb...but if you stand up and say "I want respect"...yeah well, I want a beach-front villa in Malibu...you can get it, but you gotta put in the work.

Valenteenah. Posted July 22, 2003 I'm in agreement with those who have said respect needs to be earned and shouldn't be demanded. However, there are many women (and I'm sure men too) who lack self-esteem, who let the opposite sex walk all over them and who don't demand the respect they deserve. In such cases, women need to hold their head up and demand to be talked to and treated accordingly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xafsa Posted July 28, 2003 og-moti---it must be really lonely up there in dog eating land! Respect is give and take...but then there are men/women who don;t give respect to any women/man regardless of her/his moral or intellectual standings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SomeAlien Posted July 28, 2003 you guys, respect isnt a badge or a treat you give to someone when they do good either. yr supposed to treat other people with the same cordiality and respect they give you. i mean if i followed underdogs advice, id walk around calling people "b!tch" till they proved themselves otherwise... wouldnt it make more sense if you treated people with respect until they proved themselves undesrving... i mean yr just gonna be burning bridges treating people like b!tches.
