“…a husband is entitled to basic respect just by dint of being a person, and a person who is in a spousal relationship…(slight edit by Mods) ”
Not clear what was edited out or reprhased but the concept of symmetry was noticeably absent from your comment. Presumably, you would agree that BOTH parties in a “spousal relationship” enter that relationship by virtue of love and mutual respect for one another and hopefully that respect grows and is reinforced every day through their treatment of one another. Of course, every individual is entitled to basic respect until their words and actions directed towards their spouse, peers, etc. result in a loss of that respect. I obviously misread one of the earlier posts implying that men have an entitlement to respect simply by virtue of their gender abstracted entirely from their treatment of others.
