Respect is a choice and always should be. As with males, females should be respected or not respected on an individual basis, and not a collective, general basis (since not all females are the same person or on the same page). As with white people, black people should be respected or not respected on an individual basis, and not a collective, general basis. The same applies to any other groups that claim to feel marginalized, from cocksuckers to mentally ill folks to anybody else.
Nobody has to respect anybody, no matter their sex, race, orientation, religion, creed, or anything else. Respect is not owed anyone, which is why a lot of feminists, gay rights activists, and other folks aren't making a point when they complain about people not respecting them. Most people don't get respect from other people throughout most of their lives, no matter what respect they seem to get.

Get the Respectmug. Are those respectable draws?

Get the Respectable drawsmug. Not everybody needed the kind of respect/attention the respect needy guy/girl expected on a daily basis. Some people didn't really even want the added attention they were drawing to other people around them to get their bullshit sense of entitlement to other people's respect.

Get the Respectmug. Man- sorry, can't go out tonight, it's Respect your Women day... I'm cleaning and cooking so my women can get wasted.

Get the Respect your Women Daymug. Respect is not essential to life. You dont need anybody else's respect to live, and they dont need yours. The most chicken shit people are the ones who wont stand alone when nobody likes or respects them. Gangs are full of chicken shits.
Britney Spears and a gang member aren't so different, they stand only with a group, only when they're in the majority, outnumbering the other guy. Nobody needs respect to keep going, and not being respected doesn't stop anybody. A lot of people seem to think they're going to disrespect Trump out of power. Like anybody who is human, he cares what people think of him, but not being respected won't change or stop anything he's doing, get real about life. A guy like Trump wouldn't have the kind of power he does if people could vote him out of office in a fair, democratic election. Theres never been any such thing, that's life. Whining about it gets nothing done.

Get the Respectmug. Respectability Protection is offering protection only to those who meet certain traditional, conventional and patriarchal standards.
They didn’t defend or help her because they felt that she didn’t fall into the category of Respectability Protection because she is a stripper.

Get the Respectability Protectionmug. Very similar to a normal high five but instead of palm to palm it’s the back of the hand to the other persons back of their hand. Noting to others that the two of you are in fact cooler than everyone else
“Did you just use the back of your hand to give me a high five?”
“No, I was going for a respect five, because I respect you so much, we should do that moving forward”
“No, I was going for a respect five, because I respect you so much, we should do that moving forward”
