It seems to me one area where I have repeatedly erred in my life is giving respect or deference to women. They view this as weakness and then will promptly shit test you or otherwise abuse you. You have to go into dealings with them giving them absolutely no respect.

Now I'm not saying you should be disrespectful to women. I'm not saying you should insult them. I'm not saying you should underestimate them. What I'm saying is you have to go into an interaction as if you could care less about them or their opinion. And to be honest, you shouldn't care about them or their opinion. They are irrational and largely incapable of teamwork or sacrificing to be a part of a team.

Now there are bitch men who do this as well, so this principle applies to both sexes until someone earns your respect. But you can never let a woman know she's earned your respect or she will cease to respect you. I don't make the rules of nature I'm just observing them.

Let me know if I'm missing anything.
