Is this accurate?
A man can endure a lot of things, but being disrespected is not one of them.
Why?
Because respect is the foundation of his social existence. A man can survive poverty, physical pain, even betrayal, but disrespect attacks his fundamental sense of worth and status in the social hierarchy. It’s not about ego. It’s about the implicit message that disrespect sends: “You don’t matter. Your boundaries mean nothing. You can be violated without consequence.”
No functional society, relationship, or self can be built on that foundation. Tolerating disrespect doesn’t make you stronger or more enlightened. It makes you a doormat. And nature has no use for doormats.
