[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great. I'll make a deal with you:  I'll teach my boys that things like this are inappropriate to discuss publicly because they hurt people's feelings and that [b]girls - like all human beings -- should ALWAYS be treated with respect. [/b] And you teach your girls to toughen up and grow a thicker skin.[/quote]

Nope. Girls, like other people, should be treated with respect when they [i]earn [/i]and [i]deserve [/i]respect, which is not "ALWAYS" true.[/quote]

Well, I disagree with you on that. ALL PEOPLE should be treated with respect. Their actions can be judged - and yes, I'm teaching my kids to be very discerning about how to judge - but the basics of respecting the person as a fellow human being remains.[/quote]

No. Some people do not deserve respect. In the extreme case, there are murderers, rapists, and child molesters. These "fellow human beings" do not deserve to be "treated with respect" at all. If you do something that forfeits my respect -- if you lie to me, steal from me, or betray me -- then you do not deserve my respect and I will not treat you with respect.
