Well, one way to do that is to examine the content of the argument. It’s not always so easy or clear.

RV just two sentences?? less than 25 words?? that too from you …i am so bummed out you know

If two sentences made not a dent in your comprehension, then I don’t think 25 would either.

While I can’t speak for others, but when do I feel disrespected? It’s when guys make assumptions or criticisms about women in their commentary, and present it in a way that’s a generalization. If a guy directs his remarks to a specific situation, I think the comment is fair game, but when it’s a hated generalization, then as RV said, the conversation devolves into a men versus women battle.

Its like playing the “woman card”. If they haven’t got anything to get respect for, they say at-least respect us for being a woman.

So i was thinking…

Now how do u ladies come to a conclusion that someone is ‘disrespecting’ you because you are a woman and not because of some other attribute of yours ..it could be that someone just doesn’t like you or agree with you for reasons other than ur gender

When someone starts to bash a woman based on female characteristics or generalize using broad sweeping gender-based statements.

I don’t think we should be making blanket statements about all women or even all Desi women. I suppose the easiest way for women to identify discrimination against themselves would be to see a situation in which men get treated preferentially, (ie employment, religious-law inheritance, civil rights, etc).

Re: Don’t disrespect me because i am a woman!

Hey, I’ve never seen Diwana disrespect a lady. He’s a true gentleman mmmkay?

Re: Don’t disrespect me because i am a woman!

WOW talk about ganging up on a bloke!

Oh and the only problem with Diwana is that he is too awesome. He is kind of under the curse of his own sheer awesomeness.

@Nisha25

i noticed that most pakistani men on GS are respectful towards women though, it’s different, maybe it’s the religious side that keeps them from disrespecting and i’ve noticed that even if they do disrespect a tad bit, it takes some time for them to rethink how they acted

oh snap

spoke too soon
