themacnut:
I can see Marten wanting to let things drop here and move on, but Faye and maybe Dora not letting it. I can also see the ladies marching down to tSB to confront Padma, maybe even dragging her out by her hair to make her talk to Marten. Faye especially I can see doing that...
iduguphergrave:
Faye: Hey, you know how I didn't press assault charges when you punched me in public with absolutely no provocation? Would you like it to stay that way?
litthefilter:
For whatever it's worth, Jeph thinks Marten is doing the right thing.

--- Quote from: NotAwesomeAnymore on 11 Jan 2012, 05:41 ---This whole respect argument is weird. I feel like everyone's on different wavelenghs. I think Overkillengine's point is, sometimes people treat you badly for no reason and there's no way of earning better treatment. At that point, you have to actually walk away, otherwise terrible people just pile up in your life. "Enforce" is a weird word for it, but getting respect does require some sort of action, like everything else. Right?
The respect issue is similar to the trust issue in that way. You obviously can't demand respect in the same way you can't just demand trust. But sometimes people are so stingy with those things it's irrational, and then it ruins your life.

Actually that is pretty much the closest anyone has gotten to the point I have been trying to make. I guess using the word "enforce" threw people off or something, though I believe it a perfectly valid usage of that word. Sometimes people suck. Sometimes unconsciously. When that happens, they often don't even realize what they are doing is wrong until you make a clear* point of telling them that the behavior is not OK.
--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 11 Jan 2012, 12:34 ---I believe I understand your point, which is well taken, but it's worth noting how much social progress has been brought about by women demanding respect.

Thank you. :)
*Unambiguous phrasing, no hints, no subtlety, minimal tact. Often the only way to get through to them. Often referred to as being "assertive".
Sorflakne:
Is it just me, or does Dora look like Raven in panel 2?
And liking the current Dora design with the longer hair.
