If somebody needs it to survive, they assume (know as they would call it) they deserve it.
Not everybody needed the kind of respect/attention the respect needy guy/girl expected on a daily basis. Some people didn't really even want the added attention they were drawing to other people around them to get their bullshit sense of entitlement to other people's respect.
Respect is a choice and always should be. As with males, females should be respected or not respected on an individual basis, and not a collective, general basis (since not all females are the same person or on the same page). As with white people, black people should be respected or not respected on an individual basis, and not a collective, general basis. The same applies to any other groups that claim to feel marginalized, from cocksuckers to mentally ill folks to anybody else.
Nobody has to respect anybody, no matter their sex, race, orientation, religion, creed, or anything else. Respect is not owed anyone, which is why a lot of feminists, gay rights activists, and other folks aren't making a point when they complain about people not respecting them. Most people don't get respect from other people throughout most of their lives, no matter what respect they seem to get.
A positive evaluation in terms of image. Opposite of insult.
you'll never win her respect like that
