Respect is earned by respecting others. Men have been falling short here for quite some time.

Also, if you're demanding men be led by the nose when they have eyes to see and brains to think then, you're infantalizing men.

It shouldn't need to be pointed out that one of the primary way, and the first way, to help women with the difficulties of childbirth and raising children is to assist in making all births intentional.

That's pretty obvious.

It's also been offered educationally all over the place for a very long time. Come on. You know that's true.

Yet men still refuse to take accountability for their own reproductive potential, by and large.

Consider that the reason men get infantalized had less to do with respect and more to do with so very many men seeking to be mollycoddled.
