First problem with this story is the author thinks she deserves “respect” and special treatment just because she’s a woman. Respect is earned and many woman do little to earn it.

You have to consider the source. Regis Giles is one of the daughters of columnist Doug Giles. You’ve probably read his stuff here on FR from time to time. He is one of the ‘good guys’. 99% of the time (IMO), he is dead on target for conservative and/or Christian viewpoints. He has said in his columns that he raised his daughters to demand respect from the young men in their lives because that is what HE demands from them. Not only that, he has raised them (according to him) to be the kind of young women you WOULD respect.

In the old days a woman started with the status of “Respected” just due to her gender. But it was entirely up to her to maintain that fleetingly delicate and lofty stature. NO do-overs was the rule.
