Both genders deserve respect, but I find it quite disgusting that it is much more told to respect women than it is to respect men. I believe it to be disgusting due to how many men died for their country and people, and if world war was to happen that males would be the ones made to fight before females were considered. Even to this day there are males in far more risky areas of the workforce, and far more males than female die in the workplace due to them having to do the more risky parts of the job. There are more reasons why men should be told just as much that they deserve respect, or even more, but you get my point.
Women are definetly being given more respect by default than men are given respect at all, and it is just wrong.
If anyone should be told they deserve respect, I believe it to be males.
I believe both genders deserve respect, but the lack of respect for the male gender makes me think that the female gender doesn't deserve it if the male gender isn't getting respect.
What do you think?

I think people are tired of this. We've all expressed our thoughts on the matter, and in the end nobody convinces anyone else of anything and everybody ends up angry. I've learned to just refrain from commenting because I'm not interested in getting wrapped up in it, but there's hardly any need for a constant stream of stories and comments like this one.
The story isn't even proposing a balanced grounds for debate - it's just your thoughts followed by "what do you think". Even the title isn't something reasonable like "is there an imbalance of respect between genders", it's "WHY is it that <insert opinion here>". It's a loaded question. And we all know that you won't end up conceding any of our points, and we won't concede yours.
I'm not trying to attack you. But the way that you type (and the frequency with which you post it) doesn't make people want to debate rationally with you.
But I was always taught to respect everyone, male, female, or anywhere in between. My rule is, you have my respect until you give me a reason not to. :)
Either way:

It's been done. Done and dusted. The discussion was long, some pretty good insights provided - there's no need for yet another debate. Generally people agreed that respect should be given to those who deserve it, irrespective of gender. Case closed.
If it is ItDuz; honestly, you seem to have some strange pre-occupation with perceived misandry that exceeds the reality. Us guys aint as victimised as you seem to think. If it isn't ItDuz, I still stand by my point. We don't have it too bad.
I don't think how you view the world is how most people view the world. Yes there are occasions where certain outdated ideas of gender are resuscitated resulting in discrimination in the 'modern Western world'. But from my experience this isn't a constant, it's not something I encounter every day. Certainly I can't remember the last time somebody told me how important it was to 'respect women'. Grampy talk.
There are examples of gender bias that bother me:
- Low conviction rates and lighter sentences for female criminals in general are very unsettling.
- Positive discrimination to the detriment of effectiveness in certain workplaces i.e. hiring females over males because of gender rather than ability/capability (happens in some Police forces for example).
- The way in which such biases against men are ignored, treated as humorous or otherwise unimportant by society in general.
BUT as I say, in terms of being told to respect women and in terms of men not receiving the general respect any deserving individual warrants, I just don't encounter this often. I'd say I probably observe it as much as I observe sexism towards women.
Once again, for the record, I know only a very little, in a context of Universal knowledge. We are but infants in relation to other far more advanced creatures in this Universe.
We are on the verge of attaining a new Age in our development as a technological civilisation. It is time to grow up.
In some aspects of society women have the upper hand, child custody for example. In other aspects, such as their depiction in much of the media they don't.
In the home, both of my parents leaned more towards respecting males much more. For instance, my brothers were favored by both my parents for being male, and my dad was top dog, period, end of discussion, just because he was the man.
Me personally, I am respectFUL to everyone, unless they give me a reason not to be. You can't know anything about someone, what they have or haven't done, just by their gender alone. You might pass a man and a woman on the street, and you don't know if the woman is the veteran and the man is a convicted burglar, or vice versa, so it's not logical at all to respect anyone more or less based on sex.
You state this as fact, that we're being told to do this, but can you prove that? I've never, ever heard anyone tell anyone to respect 'women' alone, and I'm almost 34. Who is saying this? Even if someone IS saying/teaching this, can you prove it has had any negative effect on men?
OP, that was a long time ago, and like everyone else has said, nobody even says this shit anymore and it never even meant what you're assuming it meant.
I do not want the world to revolve around my ideas and virtues, because it is not solely my world to make this decision for. I would then be nothing more than a greedy and selfish autocrat, like so many throughout history that created the mess we're in now. I'm just providing some new ideas, which I think might be to the benefit of all. It is at your discretion whether or not to use these. I would simply like people to start thinking about some things that have become routine, and sometimes creates much damage in society. You decide.
Why are you creating division in society?

I'd hate to be a divorced father. Where men and women are different, we legally allow for the differences in women, but we don't do that for men. My sister used to work for the CSA (Child Support Agency). She has a reputation as a bit of a man-hater but working there changed her mind. So many of her cases were closed because the fathers they hounded eventually gave up any hope and committed suicide. She left because she didn't believe in the work.
They first tried to criminalise the father by saying he wasn't allowed to make an arrangement with his estranged wife. They then spoke to his employer about seizing 80% of his earnings so they could redistribute it themselves. They made out that because he hadn't gone via the CSA, he was a feckless father who wasn't contributing at all.
He lost his job because his employer disapproved of this. He became reliant on his parents and had to move back in, at which point the CSA started hounding them too. He had a nervous breakdown and committed suicide three months later.
The person whose case it was got a letter from the man's thirteen year old daughter, describing what kind of man her father was, how he had always paid up whatever he could, and had even sold his beloved motorcycle to pay for a family holiday he himself wasn't going on. He paid for his ex and kids to have a great holiday.
Totally not the first time I have heard of child welfare services hounding troubled families and making bad situations worse. I'm they that they do great work but it really angers me hearing about them wasting their time and resources on decent but troubled families and closing cases on families in which extreme abuse and neglect occurs.
Viscous women do not deserve children.
The reason why women have at all become able to work at the same level of men isn't because they have now got the rights to, it is because technology has progressed, mainly due to males. If we lived in a society that wasn't involved with technology, and we had to rely on our own skills instead of technology, which would mean much more hard labour, then women wouldn't be able to even be half as good as men at jobs. But, since "men" made most technology, women now are able to. One could argue that it is men that made women have a place in the workplace, because we all know that if females had no technology to rely on, they'd have to go through hard labour, and which gender do you think is better for that, hmm?
Males built society. If you look outside a window, you'll see buildings, cars, walkways, roads, they were all put there by men. If there was no buildings, there would be no civilization, if there was no civilization, we would still be primal, if we were still primal, women and men would be going by their original instincts in the wild. Key meaning is; without men, you wouldn't be able to live for long.
It was men that originally thought women should have a chance at working like males do.
Far more men are in the military than women, they have the most fire power, and most power all in.
I could go on and on, but I'll see how well you get on with those points first.
No, me having a penis doesn't mean men rule the world, but men being the main reason for civilization being made, that gives them a good enough point.
I have watched many of his videos, and I have to say that I enjoy watching them.
But, oh my God, that woman is unbarable. She is in a lot of his videos and she has the nack of not addressing the points Marc is making, not understanding at all what he is saying, then trying to make a huge debate out of trivial matters.
The woman is just unbarable to listen to. A man is a slob because "she" can't put down the toilet seat? Ugh.
Then she is too stupid to understand what it is he is saying, that she thinks what he trying to say is that males should become chauvanistic, when in fact all he is saying is that men need to have more self respect...Somehow men having self respect is being a chauvanist to her...
She is just too immature and illogical to even be on anyones side to debate. Apparantly men are babies becasue they want women to put the toilet seat the way they need to use them...I mean, it would make more sense if it was the other way around. If m ales need to put the toilet seat down for women, wouldn't the "Aw, you girls are such babies, needing help from men to go to the bathroom" counter be a more valid one?
Still watching the video (I pause and add to the comments I make while watching a video), and she is still so oblivious of what it is he is saying. His original point was that men need to man up and not let women have all the say, then she acts like he wasn't saying that at all.
Finally, the video ended.
Many modern societies discriminate against both men and women, not just against one gender: women are still being discriminated against in terms of work opportunities and unequal payments, whereas boys are often neglected in education. I believe this to be true for most European countries and America.
We could start to change this by getting rid of our stupid, invalid gender stereotypes...
I just went on Yahoo answers, etc. I made two inputs, one saying "I believe the female gender is being mistreated", and the other "I believe the male gender to be mistreated.
Both said the exact same things in each post, except male and female switiching parts, and the one that talked about males being mistreated got deleted due to being against the community guid lines, it was up for five minutes before being deleted, yet the female one has been up for two hours now.
If that isn't going against men, then I don't know what is.
Society respects women far more than men, regardless of the fact that men created the society they live in.
some girls start throwing stuff at me. what evs...girls start calling me names...what evs i had worse...girls take my stuff...I got more money...girls attack me...dodge without attacking back
