You gave up your right to initiate and be respected? Or am I somehow reading your exact words wrong? I can see giving up being the leader but giving up being respected???? I decline. I respect my husband and he respects me. Feminine energy doesn't mean you are not worthy of respect.

Feminine energy doesn't mean you are not worthy of respect. Pat Allen's point in this regard is that the feminine-energy person feels respected by virtue of being cherished. My own point would be that men who are fighters grant "respect" to those who are also. The feminine, effeminate, childish, and vulnerable do not warrant this respect. These latter are valued in other ways. Mike
