Even a dog will disrespect you if you don't stand your ground. If you hunch over and look down when walking past a barking dog in any suburb, the dog will bark louder and with more confidence. If you walk tall and stare directly into its eyes, the dog will lose its wind.
People are absolutely the same. If the standard of respect crosses species it will cross any other boundaries as well. The stronger will prevails regardless of even truth, most people's wills bend when faced up against truth. Some require overwhelming truth, others just a little bit. The weak willed require only suggestions.
