How can a Man respect his Wife when he has a contemptible Op

Summary

This quote highlights the fundamental contradiction in a situation where a man claims to respect his wife despite holding a low opinion of her and her gender. It suggests that genuine respect cannot coexist with contemptuous views. True respect requires recognizing and valuing the qualities and contributions of one's spouse, regardless of their gender. If a man genuinely respects his wife, he must have an equal and equitable view of her and all women, as it is inherent to respect to appreciate and honor their worth and capabilities.
