What Does It Really Mean To Respect A Woman?

At last, a fearless answer.

If you were to look up the definition of “respect,” you would get a list of different answers, depending on which dictionary you use.

For this article, I define respect as: “The esteemed acknowledgement of what a person, place, or thing has done or is capable of.”

This is why respect is earned—never given.

An athlete can be respected for his capability to perform, a river can be respected for the danger of its current, and a lion can be respected for the power of its bite.

However, a man should never expect to be granted respect for what he can neither prove nor demonstrate. He may be awarded respect on faith by some more than others, but he is entitled to none. And whatever respect he has won through faith in him is a debt that will inevitably require payment in character.

With that in mind, a narcissist is not someone who is merely denied a certain respect.

A narcissist is someone who cannot acknowledge why they are denied a certain respect.

It would be no issue to me for others to deny me the respect due to a world-class, heavyweight boxer—but namely because I am fully self-aware that I am not a world-class, heavyweight boxer. Very simple.

I would be a narcissist, however, if I looked at you in bewilderment or lashed out at you for not granting me such respect based on an illusory sense of being entitled to it, therein losing frame.

The same is true for women.

Allow me to explain.

What Women Are Capable Of

The question at hand, then, for figuring out what it really means to respect a woman, first requires us to establish what a woman has done or could do, as respect is the esteemed acknowledgement of what a person, place, or thing has done or is capable of.

So, what are women capable of?

A great many things: some that overlap with men, and others that are uniquely feminine.

Some women are capable of what other women are not.

There is a broad way and an individual way to look at it.

This means that there is no honest, monolithic way to respect women, as there is no honest, monolithic way to respect men.

Different men are capable of different things, varying in their characters and abilities to greater and lesser extents.

Truly understanding this, then, truly internalizing this, is how a woman can tell the difference between a man who genuinely respects her for who she is and a male feminist who manipulatively virtue signals.

The male feminist grants women respect that they have not earned. He raises them above all as superior goddesses. He signals to them as though they were a monolith, without respect for their differences, as though all women are the same and thus capable of the same things to the same extent. Therein, by nature, he cannot be an honest man because not all women are the same.

In contrast, the genuine gentleman is one honest enough to acknowledge a woman’s limitations, while respecting certain women in certain ways and other women in other ways based on what they have done or could do.

This means that respect is not binary, but an omnidirectional gradient.

A man may genuinely respect a whore for the instrumental value of her sexual prowess, for she has either performed or can perform sexual acts with great stamina. She is accorded the respect of a master in her craft, little differently than a man would respect a martial artist or a blacksmith.

He may not genuinely respect a whore, however, as a candidate for a long-term, monogamous relationship, as she has not demonstrated the sexual restraint required for one.

In contrast, a man may genuinely respect a maiden for her self-restraint. She has either demonstrated or can demonstrate denials of sexual advances necessary to retain her honor, worthy of high regard.

He may not genuinely respect a maiden, however, with the expectation of a certain level of sexual skill.

Yet, an honest gentleman grants each woman the individual respect they earned.

This is how both a gentleman and a male feminist can say that they respect all women.

Yet, is the nature of their respect the same? Are their virtues?

The former’s is nuanced and accurately based on the reality of each woman in question, with respect for their differences; the latter’s is not.

So, all a woman has to do to test if she is with an honest man is ask him outright what he respects her for.

A male feminist will dishonestly or illogically grant a whore the respect of a maiden.

An honest gentleman will dismiss a whore in her attempts to present herself as a maiden.

On Female Narcissism

As I would be a narcissist if I couldn’t understand why you wouldn’t grant me the respect otherwise due to a world-class, heavyweight boxer—a whore would be a narcissist if she would fail to understand why an honest gentleman would deny her the respect otherwise reserved for the maiden.

And vice versa, per se, if the maiden would lash out for being denied the respect of being the most skilled in, say, fellatio.

With these examples, we could theoretically skip the common arguments about topics like “body counts” entirely to simply focus on the pure philosophical strengths and weaknesses in the differences between self-restraint and hedonism.

With that said, that is not to say that a whore cannot demonstrate self-restraint to bond with a partner, while a maiden cannot learn to improve her skills with the partner she has already bonded with—but that is not the general pattern of the archetypes.

What It Really Means To Respect A Woman

When a woman lashes out at the male feminist, he will lose his frame as a woman’s swaying approval binds his principles. She will calm down through his dishonest affirmations and capitulations.

When a woman lashes out at the honest gentleman, he will maintain his frame as his principles are anchored in truth. She will calm down through the strength of his steadiness, as he remains sturdier than her storm.

As male feminists, by nature, lose their frame throughout their interactions with women, they cannot be good men. Tell women what they want to hear as a means to an end—being why and how they tend to be predators.

A young woman is as vulnerable to a male feminist’s signaling as a toddler is to candy.

She will veer away from the honest man as the feminist sets up shop and puts up a sign with his “virtues” as his bait…free and available to all.

Because that’s what he truly thinks of her deep down: as a child. Beneath him. He does not respect her intelligence enough to believe she will see through to his true intentions.

She will get high from the sugar rush of overindulging in his “candy”, not realizing how wrong she is to lower her guard.

And that’s when he’ll strike: To set her upon the path of the whore because he does not respect her body and cares not for what she really thinks before she has become old enough to make her own decisions.

Or, perhaps old enough but distracted. Manipulated, inebriated, and incapacitated.

Because he is not the one who actually values her.

In that regard, the man who genuinely values and respects a woman is the man who tells her the truth because he respects her intelligence, while understanding that she may deny him access to her body because he respects her body and her right to do so.

What it means to respect a woman truly is to observe and hold her with honesty, acknowledging both her strengths and weaknesses, while granting her only the respect she individually deserves without losing one's composure throughout her sway.
