    Hi, I am a woman and I have always heard women saying that women don't get as much respect as men in life. I kind of believed this for a while, but then I realised that is wasn't really true in my experience. What do you think, are women not given as much respect as men, or are they just over sensitive? :D

    Like by respect I mean people listen to them and care about their opinions and respect their views on things.

    Women get more respect than men cos they're scary, and it doesn't pay to argue with em, that's what my wife told me to say, anyway.:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,739 ✭✭✭✭starbelgrade


    Women invented a lot of things from the dishwasher, to the rolling pin, to ironing boards & chocolate chip cookies. Granted, they were all invented for their own use, but you gotta give them the respect they deserve. :D

    Men say women are bad and they are chauvinist pigs.

    Yes but you only really respect us when we keep the boobies covered, vaginas clean and supple thighs together.

    Or so my youth worker told me. Nuff respect, innit.

    No of course not... It's the dress that makes you look fat.

    I've never met an over sensitive woman in my life.

    Yeah, size 16 dress on a 20 frame doesn't really work well.

    Ladies the only way to truely get respect, is when one respects themselves. mmHmMM?

    This isn't true. I dis mysel all the time and still men want to be me and women want to be with those men who look like me.

    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.

    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.

    I like this guys opinion

    `He's not your opinion, Guy!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    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 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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,716 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


    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.
