Fuck the word "respect".

[Brian37]

Why are you so angry? I didn't say respect means common courtesy. I said people confuse the two. People often say respect when what they really mean is common courtesy.

And I am telling you that is NOT the common use like you would like it to be.

It is a way to silence criticism and blasphemy and avoid having to think about your own claims.

It is used by the alpha male and the insecure as a way to silence others. It has nothing to do with merely being polite.

I told you HOW healthy relationships work.

You, "Hey would you mind not doing that"
Me, "Ok, yes I agree to stop"

Or

You, "Would you mind not doing that"
Me, "Yes I do mind"
You, "Ok, fine, see you later"

Not

You, "I demand you stop"

"I demand you stop" is what "respect" means, having nothing to do with a mutual relationship.
