You know, I may get yelled at for this but I think that women (in our american society anyway) have an entirely to passive a position on this stuff. I teach my children, my daughter included, to use the Tasmanian devil as an example, those little animals are tiny but there is no predator dumb enough to mess with them because they are so ferocious that it is just not worth the hassle. In other words, why do women feel responsible to be polite or nice to people that are treating them with no respect. I (a male) have no problem giving someone the finger, cursing at them, or attempting to smash their face if the situation calls for it. But I don't think this is really a neccesity, if you feel this way about situations I think the message gets communicated non verbally. I may be a victim sometimes but it is not a role I fill.
If my daughter was being treated that way some people would disappear and the swamp gators would probably get fat. Maybe it is toleration. I can say that I wouldn't tolerate those actions from any of my coworkers toward anyone. That girl is someone's daughter, wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, etc.
Anyway, disrespectful people piss me off anyway.
I have been around women divers that flirted with all the guys and begged for attention. If they don't like the way the men treated them first they need a little self respect not to conduct themselves that way to start with. You can't blame a guy when he thinks he is finding a new fling. One word to the contrary and any further actions by the male, deserve castration.
I guess maybe we just do things different down here. <Dueling Banjos playing in the background>.
