"Daddy issues" is the most sexist label ever..

This. Shame the perverts that deserve it, not the girls.

Tipping is Ok as long as it represents your appreciation for how will the server did. It should not be your mandatory contribution to the income of a worker because their boss can't be arsed to pay them a decent wage.

*insert Archer picture here* "Do you want toxic masculinity? Because this is how you get toxic masculinity"

I remember as a child my mother whipping me until I was covered in big red welts all over my arms and legs because she was told by a neighbour that I was in a house that was being built with some other kids and we made a big mess. I screamed at that it wasn't me and that I was at another friend's house all afternoon but she wouldn't listen. After she had finished with me I ran out to my friends house and asked her mother to tell my mother that I was with them. She did. She explained that the girl the neighbour saw was the back of another girl who had the same hair as me long and brown and was around the same age. All my mother said was "oh, well that's alright then". She never apologised or said anything else. I was in real pain for days afterwards. But she really didn't care. day

Security stands for 6 hours or more, looks bad to be seen sitting

Too right.

Boys will be boys is meant to be a light-hearted acceptance of boys immediately getting mud all over their new trousers, and stuff like that. Anyone who uses it to excuse boys inappropriate behaviour is an idiot.

Man to woman: "You should smile more!" Woman to man: "And you should leave me alone, but here we are"

The customer is rarely right and is usually an idiot. I told all my staff the moment I became manager "you are not paid to take abuse, refer them to me and i'll kick them out, i'm a salaried manager and I'M paid to deal with that nonsense, not you".

I had a teacher that wouldn't give breaks many years ago, I begged to be excused but was refused, accidentally threw up at her desk when I couldn't hold it in anymore, got detention for that.

Childless guy here - I also used to get people trying to shame me into having kids. "The line dies with me." I don't want kids. Deal with it.

If it's Gods will for kids to suffer and die of starvation, cancer etc then God is a f*****g Sadist. I HATE it when people say s**t like that, heard it many times after an ectopic pregnancy.

studied psychology & behavioral science in college so learned many 'disciplines' in those fields. while i am not a fan of freud, one thing he did write that i totally agree with is this: "the greatest injustice we do to our children is not to teach them the power of sex". just because a parent(s) are uncomfortable talking about sex doesn't mean that their children don't need to know about it at a fairly early age. this would not only protect them but also make them understand that they need to respect their body as well as others and to prepare them to be responsible when it comes to sex. stop teaching people to be ashamed of the what is a biological act and calling it something dirty.

Still?!

Forcing religion on anyone is wrong.

I actually like the idea of school uniforms. All schools in Australia have their own uniforms and we almost never hear about the incidences mentioned above. We mainly hear about private schools and the fact many of them require girls to wear skirts, NO pants. That should definitely change.

I have always taught my children to respect their elders, BUT I have also taught my children that just because they are an elder doesn't make them right. You can disagree with them but be respectful in your manner and words and if they get upset, scream at you or say derogatory things you are well within your rights to walk away.

Yep, that's how you end up with a childhood full of molestation and abuse that no therapist can help you with. Kudos Grandma.

I always encouraged my children to not only question authority - as long as they did so respectfully, but to also follow their instincts. If something or someone makes you feel uncomfortable, there's a reason and you need to remove yourself or find someone to help you.

Respect should be a basic human right. However, respect can be lost. Teaching a child to respect fellow humans is a far, far cry from "allow yourself to be abused". If you're not smart enough to know the difference, you shouldn't be parenting.

I respect those that respect me, regardless of their age. Oh, and guess what? Old age doesn't make you wiser. It just makes you less inhibited. So, if you were an a-hole in your youth, you're an old a-hole now.

Absolutelyfreakinglutely!

I give children the same respect that I would like to receive from them.

They should respect anyone unless that adult is telling them to do something wrong or questionable. Then they should seek advice from a different adult.

had a teacher in high school tell us respect is earned not given. He was asked what has he done to earn our respect? He said we should respect our elders no matter what. We the discussion lasted way longer than he expected.

Basic respect such as please and thank you is for everyone. Respecting people as an authority is only for when theyve earned it, and no authority can make you do anything illegal.

Not only adults, respect everyone. They should be taught that way. A kid cannot be a jerk to other kids while being an angel to them adults. It affects the other kids and the kid needs to be taught some manners

Respect is earned, not given. By default, I will respect you until you give me a reason not to. Then you gotta earn it back.

A sailor isn't afraid of the red sea. Dutch saying.

My husband's former boss would not hire anyone with facial tattoos or piercings (hair he didn't care about so much.) His reasoning was that some of his senior citizen customers might feel uncomfortable around them. I could see that...but at the same time...just because they got those done doesn't make them bad people or workers. I can understand it being unnerving.

Netherlands: "Working 38 hours per week is too stressful and leaves us with almost no free time. We're switching to 30 hours per week."

My mother once chewed out my oldest brother for not giving our Grandmother a hug and kiss. She was dying from a rare blood cancer and was down to 90 lbs. It's scary for a 9 year old to see that and no one ever sat down with him to explain what was going on with her. He reluctantly gave her a hug and kiss and ran out of the room. It made my Grandmother cry. I don't think he ever got over the guilt of how she cried. I told him several times that it was not his fault.

Actually...most of the commercials I see have people sacked out and sleeping.

Worse yet, someone seeing their error and changing their mind as a sign of being weak or fickle.

I was super impressed by my husband's aunt when her teenage son discussed politics with her. She disagreed with him, but ever so respectfully. She calmly and firmly gave her rebuttals. My parents would have pretty much told me to shut up and that I don't know what I'm talking about.

I think we generally need to stop associating people's private lives with their professional ones. People shouldn't have to resign or be fired because they had an affair - let them sort their private matters out in their own time keep doing what they are good at.

And who decided that hugging another man is considered cheating on your boyfriend. I hug my friends because I care about them...not because I want to sleep with them.

My husband was forced to eat foods he didn't like, I wasn't. One of us is an extremely picky eater and it isn't me. Our kids are never forced to eat stuff they don't like.

There's a flip side to this, where you end up with 27 year olds still living at home with mommy doing their laundry, not because rent is too expensive, but because their parents have enabled them to feel like they are their little angel forever. At 18 you should be able to *want* to move out without feeling like you *need* to move out, and know you are able to function in society while knowing you have support for the things you don't know yet.
