They expect men to apologize as a matter of respect for a woman. Where's our respect?

I don't think it's necessarily women. I think human beings - in general - have a difficult time saying "I'm sorry". In general, it is though of as a weakness, a mistake......
The old you get, the more developed and secure you get - and you realize that to admit your wrong - is a very strong, secure thing to say. It shows people you are aware of your misjudgment and awareness that you hurt someone else. To "agree to disagree" is not a bad thing..... to be aware that you may have hurt someone and apologize means "your secure with yourself"... but it takes time to develop that.

i locate the situation is that adult men make an apology too plenty. My detrimental boyfriend apologizes each and all the time for issues even while they're so minor as to no longer even warrant an apology. case in point, forgetting to place back the milk. i think of that adult men would desire to make an apology for great issues, and then do exactly what women do, and refuse to make an apology for minor issues that don't truly count huge form.

I can only speak for myself, If I am wrong I am wrong, I have no problem apologizing. Sometimes it is more difficult than others, however, i believe this also comes with maturity. I do not think it is a male vs female issue. I think it depends on who you are as a person. God Bless

Sometimes there are nonverbal ways of saying sorry. I don't apologize all the time to my boyfriend when I know I'm wrong, but he knows I'm sorry and we both feel better without having to say it. However, I'll say it when I really have to, that way he knows I'm serious.
There are many ways to say you're sorry without actually saying the words. Maybe she just wants to get over it and move on.

Good question. Been to the East? The men whine and abuse women for everything! And oh! And there is no word called apology in their dictionary.
So I guess its fair! Some men dont, and some women dont!

This question isn't about men or women. Some people are just not capable of apologizing. There are just as many men who can't do it as there are women.

It's so hard for women to apologize to a man, because we are usually right.
I mean, once I thought I was wrong but it turns out that I was right.

I think women apologize, however, in my case, when I apologize it isn't taken as such and it causes an argument. I think I am probably saying my apology the wrong way.

It's because couples in general "refuse to listen to each other" least of all themselves.
It goes both ways actually. Each are determined to be right, refusing to listen to the other.
The only way they can come some understanding is if each one sits down and actually listens to the other.

Women now grow up in a feminist world, and unfortunetly, they don't realize the turning of the tables. It's as if apologizing would be a crime to feminism. Feminism today now sort of sucks.
