Isha is right in what she says about respect. I was raised to treat others as I wanted to be treated. During my life I have been in numerous positions of power over other people. But I never demanded that I receive respect. If you EARN it, you will get it! And I did what ever was necessary to EARN it. And I can truthfully say that I have gotten respect from the people that I have come in contact with in my many years! I do not feel that men are being devalued now, nor have they been in the past. But I do agree that many parents today do not raise their boys in an appropriate manner.
BTW, I was married for almost 50 years before cancer took my wife from me! And yes, I certainly did respect her and she respected me!
