So basically what you are saying is that men will respect me more if it seems like my own father does? This is just another instance of men not respecting women. It happens all the time. I don't know how many times I asked my maintenance guy to fix my outside light because I'm a single woman and I come home by myself sometimes at night. It didn't happen for months. Same maintenance guy came over a couple weeks ago and I mentioned that my grown son was really worried about me because the light isn't working yet and guess what? Light was fixed in 20 minutes. Some men care about what other men think, even when they aren't present, more than actually respecting a woman or treating her like a human being on her own. Sad.
