Even in the 1840’s Elizabeth Cady Stanton was raising the issue of double standards of behavior for men and women. In many situations, the burden still seems to be on women to expect or even demand civility and respect from men. Sadly the media supports the “fun” in reversion as soon as women’s backs are turned. Thank you to the men who ALWAYS love and respect women.
“Resolved, that the same amount of virtue, delicacy, and refinement of behavior that is required of woman in the social state also be required of man, and the same transgressions should be visited with equal severity on both man and woman.”
