I don't know where he gets this from, his father is a good man who has never disrespected me. He has talked to our son about it on numerous occasions and it just doesn't seem to do any good. We have tried grounding him and other punishments but to no avail still no good. What do we do?!?!

Counseling usually helps with things like that. It helps with my son. He has no respect for women whatsoever. And I still to this day have no idea why.

Blame that on the media... especially music videos, Rap music ans sports. Ever look at how women are represented in these things?
A chunk of it is also endemic to his age... his hormones are starting to kick in and he is feeling that aggressive rush. Put him in with some other sports fans his own age and the testosterone is palpable. These kids feedback on each other.
When he finally meets a girl he likes, he will have to become sociable.
The next time you hear him mouthing off, call him on it. "You don't really believe that, do you? Do you think any girl is going to put up a guy with that kind of attitude? Do you think that I would put up with that?"
Of course... he could just be saying that stuff because you are reacting to it. Maybe he is just pushing your buttons. Another approach would be to talk to school counselors, and failing that, find a therapist... especially if he gets into trouble at school.

My son did this also my husband talked with him and talked with him. We did get him into counseling because of his past (we adopted him and he was hurt deeply by woman.) It helped plus my husband let him do so work that he thought was just woman's work like clean toilets and make beds....He told him no matter what a woman does for work you will respect them!! He is now 13 and respects all woman.

good luck ....I am a youth worker (single mum of 4 ) who has many times dealt with (they deserve it) teenage boys and girls who direct this to either parent....it could be from what they r hearin from their friends n work/school mates....but u would b alarmed at how many children turn it to the other parent....or they could be trying to make things seem worse at home to their mates than what it is to fit in with the one's they feel free with.....i truely hope u and ur partner can let ur child know that some times some children make out things r worse than what they really r....again good luck n all the best.... :-)
P.S. sometimes it's easier to let them think they r right...as one day they will b back n say i am sorry....
( I Have 2 children like that now....i am their mum.... i can forgive them...but never forget...) and never rub it in the faces of ur children of what has gone wrong......

I know how you feel, my sister had dated a guy for a few months when we were in high school who was exactly the same way. Really what he needs is one girl he dates to show him that it isnt accepted. Hell get it sooner or later, just give it time.

Your son is probably the way he is because he could have friends who are like that and he is probably learning that from his friends. You can start by becoming friends with his friends and their parents to find out.
