Why is that not a bad thing? Here is the definition of the word "courteous": "Polite, respectful, or considerate in manner."
So it's n ot a bad thing that men aren't being treated with respect and politeness as much as females are? If we were to treat men with more respect and manners, we would be considered sexist.
Yes. It's not a bad thing. Cause men socialize by chest thumping and calling each other names light-heartedly. Which can be pretty different to how women socialize. I know plenty of women who wouldn't appreciate that kind of behaviour acted upon them. I know a few who would find it funny too though. It can't be 100% generalized by gender
Society has changed, men aren't like that. If they were, then I don't see how women should still be more respected than men. If someone calls the other an "asshole" light-hearedly, then that is them communicating in ways that show a "macho" way of respect, that doesn't mean at all that it's a lesser form of respect.
If women get offended by getting treated the same, then they aren't the same, nor should males have to cater to their needs of feeling respected.
Pretty much all the guys I know are like that. Hmmmm... Ya I wouldn't call it a lesser form of respect since they say things like that with a sense of trust established. Trusting that the other wont take serious offensive and trust that no one will take things too far. But I'd definately call it a different form of respect. And you're last point there is what I was trying to say. If they get offended by that behaviour then they aren't the same. So they should be treated with a different respect. We treat everyone in our lives that little bit different, and in a sense we are catering to their needs of feeling respected that way. Which bringd be back to saying I don't think it can be generalized by gender since its mostly about their personality
Different; yes. Lesser; no. I think I got what you said wrong. I thought you were meaning we treat them with more respect, not a different form of respect.

I apologize.
Thanks for the conversation.
