    From what I've noticed, I'd say that women get as much respect from men as they give to themselves. A woman who has a lot of self-respect will most likely get a lot of respect from men. If a woman has very little self-respect then not a lot of guys would have much respect for her.

    I think us men are just jealous that we don't have something to juggle in front of bouncers to get into clubs.

    Men don't even care about each others' opinions and respect other mens' views. We just get drunk and laugh at how stupid women are; not forgetting the irony.

    In all seriousness OP; I'm a horrible person. I don't respect anyone, be they man, woman, pig, Lady GaGa... which I suppose renders my opinion invalid.

    But I've already written this reply, so I have to commit to it now.
    So Yes, I don't respect anyone.. women scare me more than blokes though. Believe it or not, most lads I know say there's something about me that just stops them from thumping me, a certain charm (seriously!); but girls would/do happily slap/scratch/pinch/thump me.. so I have to pretend to respect girls more.

What do you think, are women not given as much respect as men, or are they just over sensitive? :D

    what do you mean , do i respect you ? , ament i riding you


    seriously though , in 21st century western society , women get a whole lot more resepct than men , men are potrayed as idiots in much of the advertising on tv and radio , women have automatic rights when it comes to thier children , the men have to fight tooth and nail , women are given a pass for being bitchy and hostile to men , when the opposite happens , the man is a pig

    I think women respect men more than men do and men respect women more than women do.

    Or some equally bland assertion disguised as insight.

    Yes yes and yes. The amount of times i've seen girls throwing a hissy fit and abusing lads and as soon as the lad raises his voice you have people stepping in to protect the woman.

    That does happen.

    Then again you have plenty of women who go back again and again to B*stards.

    I think both sexes are generally treated equally now. If there is any inequality it is down to the individual, not the gender.

    Reminds me of the old adage;

    Why do women wear make-up and perfume?
    Because they're ugly and they smell
