Just curious, why is it that our culture tells us to respect women but doesnt mention respecting men?
Is it something to do with the nature of women and how they are to be treated. Im getting the vibe that they want to be in control and want dominance in everything. I know women are a lot more sensitive then men so that maybe it. I do believe in respecting women, but I always wondered why that is brought up more than respecting men.

At a guess, it's because historically men were in charge of everything and got all the respect they needed pretty much automatically. Women were second-class citizens, so they didn't get the same kind of respect. So to balance things out, we needed an explicit instruction to respect them more.
(Hopefully this is changing a bit now, but it all seems frustratingly slow...)

It is because most cultures have a religious background that has already set a standard for women to respect men, listen, even be "obedient" that was already established.

It's implied that men already have respect so it need not be mentioned. Men are generally in positions of more power, and therefore respect, while women had to fight for equal rights all the way up to the 1960's or 70's, and many would say later.
With that said, I agree, men deserve respect as well. I don't like it when women use their gender as excuses to mistreat men.

It's bs. Respect should be earned, it shouldn't be some God given right because you have a pusssy!

Men are disposable; hence "Women and children first".

Don't mix up culture with personality. Culture is always in transition, and at present seems to be going through a phase of adjustment from male supremacy. This is exciting, but not hitch free because any change in culture is vulnerable to the dominant voices of that time. Sometimes it is shaped by the sacrificial acts of selfless people; sometimes it can be derailed strong personalities with their own interests in mind. Human beings are fallible regardless of gender.
