It was interesting how Ben Affleck Jr. thought highly of all the folks that respected him, but thought those that didn't were some big ole piles of garbage. He thought that because he thought people owed him respect, or that he could walk over anybody he thought was weaker than him until they did respect him. In reality, people were already treating him like an adult and not a child, and nobody even owed him that much.
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.
