While there is nothing wrong with the picture, I do understand why it bothers OP.

Why are women singled out as needing respect, and why are men/boys singled out as needing to be taught this respect, and I have never seen the inverse in almost any sense. Besides,to me Respect is earned not taught/given and that is what boys/girls/everybody should be taught in my humble opinion.

It is along the same lines of 'boys need to be taught it is never ever ok to hit a girl' -sure, nothing wrong with that at first glace, but then you wonder...why are girls being singled out as needing protection, or why are boys singled out as needing to be taught not to hit girls...

Respect: Women are capable too

Respect: Is a two way street.

As title suggests, what to do? I don't think this person actually has any ill intentions, she's not a raging feminist (as far as I'm aware anyway).

Whats wrong with a father teaching his son how to respect women? Being a MRA is about equality and mutual respect for both sexes.

What's wrong with it?

Dude, there's nothing wrong here. Respect is something this world needs a lot more of. Yeah, it'd be nice if it was "Respect for others is the best gift a Parent can give their Child", but this is all Pro, no Con.

Hmmm.. I fail to see the point here.. Please do not think this group as a woman hating club. There is nothing wrong with a man distilling his son with moral value that teach him to respect the opposite sex.

As you should always try: reverse the genders. Would it be called sexist then?

2012-10-05T00:09:36+00:00

As long as you're okay with this too. If you think it's sexist it's time for another look at the OP.

edit: redo link.

I'll respect a woman after she shows me some respect first. It goes both ways and women are notorious for being disrespectful to men so they don't get the benefit of the doubt.

Well, my reaction is to wander over to /r/MensRightsMeta and lobby to have imgur and facebook posts tossed out of /r/mensrights.

I'd react with limitless apathy.
