There are some men to whom the highest level of authority is a little old lady.
This is, in a lot of cases, because they grew up in an environment where the biological parents were in and out of jail and everything else that goes with that, presumably either lost custody early on or were never particularly interested anyway, etc. If not themselves, then those they grew up with, were often raised by their grandparents. They see some woman who's old enough to be their grandma, and there's no scenario in which disrespect is attempted never mind tolerated.
You're describing some men who get that, and unfortunately, too many men who don't.

@alice This is oddly specific and partially accurate.
Peoples in general tend to be less respectful to peoples who are ugly (according to the beauty standards of the society they live in).
This is a broader problem in our society about which qualities we attached to beauty and how wrong is it to do so.
Suffice to say that this attitude is ultimately wrong. -

@WhiteCatTamer @alice it is indeed about basic respect. The object of my response was to imply that I find all women smart, in their own way.
I'm sorry, it went astray.

@alice I talk with strangers wherever I go. I try, mostly go good effect, to treat all I might without judgement. As equals in a way. Buddhist concept of acceptance without judgement. It makes chat lighter and warmer.

Sadly, that is very true...

certain assholes treat everyone with disrespect, but are well versed on doing a charm play to get what they want, which they can quickly drop
and so people should watch the charm play carefully, and as you note, watch how they treat people outside the periphery of their current song and dance routine. not just women they don't find attractive. but also waiters, hotel staff, taxi drivers, etc

(also whenever I hear "enby" I still think "NBE" which is something else entirely)

@alice the weird old ageing asexual hippie in me has never met an ugly person. Ugly opinions yes, but I am of the train of thought that we're all supremely and universally unique and that conveys an interesting "beauty" that transcends physical attractiveness.
To me an interesting, kind, intelligent person is gorgeous regardless of any of the usual divisions of gender,age,race,colour,religion etc.
Internally though some people, are a horrid black disgusting morrass of hatred, intolerance, racist, sexist etc bile. They, in my eyes at least, are the truly unattractive ones.. despite how classically symmetrical their faces may or may not be.
Ergo I treat people as they treat me.

@alice I'm honestly afraid of interacting with women cos I only think of my terrible mum and the weirdo classmates I've had during my 6th and 7th grade that found me "attractive" even though I'm quiet and just minding my own business.
7th grade was weird. A few girls looked like they were having fun bothering me at school... After that I never really interacted much with women till I graduated high school.
Prom was fun though. I was able to dance with my classmate and we had a good time
