Get the Respecting Women mug.1) Actions taken in response to fear or low self esteem.
Respect is used in situations where a person wants others (or sometimes themself) to believe they have a high opinion of someone.

2) An attempt to gain the favor of others by showing empathy or understanding of other peoples views and feelings - commonly used in arguments to portray a superior knowledge of the issue in question.
