Yes. I should have clarified that when I say I respect all Life, and
all Humans, that does not mean that I respect their behavior. I have
total disregard for the behavior of those men being called out because
of their disrespect for women. So I am suggesting that I can
disrespect their actions while still showing them the same respect I
give to all others. I grant you, this is not an easy thing for us
Humans to do. If a man rapes my daughter, I am filled with rage. My
basic instinct is to hunt him down and gut him and watch him die. But
such actions are actually selfish disrespect for all Life. Respect
for Life calls for me to help apprehend this man and ensure that he
can never again harm another. So, as I'm thinking while I write,
Respect is fluid. It can be person specific, but can be moved from
the individual to the larger Humankind. And even to the respect of
all Life.
It is an interesting topic, to me. But I'll stop at that and probably
come back to it again and again, each time changing my thinking.

Respect is courteous regard for people's feelings. I partially agree with
you. However, respect has to be based on heavier motive. Because, even if
you do not respect someone, you have no right to imperil his reputation.

Bob Evans,
To my way of thinking, it can all be summed up in one word. Respect.
First, self respect, and then respect for all other Life. Regarding
respect among Humans, any unwanted action toward another is
disrespectful. Currently, in America, we are focused on Sexual
Disrespect, but that is only one issue. Bullying is disrespectful.
Contempt is also disrespectful. Capitalism is disrespectful. Power
Mongers from Billionaires to Pimps are disrespectful.
And that is just our Human relations. Our disrespect toward our
Mother Earth and all Life about us is going to bring an end to
Mankind, unless we learn to respect all Life.

Inappropriate sexual behaviour is commonly defined as unwelcome or
unsound
intimate acts, typically destined twoard other individuals. Sensuality
became immensely prevalent in western social arena. There is nothing
wrong
with being somewhat influenced with sexual arousal. We are naturally
made
to
perceive desirable attraction to that particular aspect. But, what is
really
wrong and perhaps sinful in some views, is the boundless portal toward
sexual engagement. Therefore, sex is general for westerns is not a
source
of confort and closure. It is rather a major source of outrage, trespass
and
bizarre. It involves decisive impeachment of sexual harassment,
scandalous
incidents as of incestuous chronicles and farther enormous offences. Men
and
women are religiously enjoined in Islam to mutually be accountable for
their
deeds. Scolding the opposite party for your own misconduct is basically
inadmissible in Islam. We have got to be equally creditworthy for social
tutelage. Terms of religious injunctions are fairly reciprocal between
the
two genders. This is the ideal implementation of gender collaboration
for
seeking proper guardianship. I do not call for sexual abstention nor
expansion of illicit relationships. At the same time, groping a member
of
either gender inappropriately is principally sufficient to be classified
as
an offensive sexual act. Addressing someone flirtatiously is ample to
accuse
the assailant of purposely committing inappropriate verbal sentiments
toward victims. Thence, guilty is bound to bear his penalty as the law
deems
appropriate. Sexual misconduct seems to be a heavy subject and a common
crisis in many countries.
