You know why we haven't been taught explicitly to respect men?

Because, again, our patriarchal system in which we live

is based upon us automatically respecting men.

There is no need to do a class on how to respect men.

Also, men often enforce us respecting them through power, through violence, through forced submission, through insults, through degradation, through isolation, through not giving us opportunities.

We're kind of forced to quote unquote respect men.

I also at this point when I was reading this, I was like, what does respecting someone even mean?

Yes.

They're so individualized in their experience.

And they also, I think it's down to the entitlement thing as well.

It's like, well, no one's, women aren't cooking me dinner every night and they're not getting down on their knees and sucking my toe when they see me.

They're not begging for my affection anymore.

And they're,

And women aren't marrying us anymore and we're left behind.

No one respects us.

And it's like do you think for one moment that maybe this feeling of disrespect that you have is just you levelling out with women?

Like it's kind of that thing of like the men are falling behind that we've spoken about where it's like,

It's like there's only, they see it as there's only one single pie, there's only a certain amount of respect that can exist in the world and they're saying, well, if we have young boys being taught to respect women, then who's going to respect the men?

Who's going to respect us?

Also, like you cunts don't know people in real life.
