the thing that truly annoys me is people who think they're owed respect and trust--two things that, to my mind, have to be earned. i don't just give those things away for free either. sadly a lot of men think they're entitled to women's automatic utmost respect, while feeling no obligation to return that respect
evidenced by the number of men who take it as a personal attack on themselves when a woman chooses bear
