In my childhood, we were taught by our parents to treat all elder women as mothers, and younger women as sisters. We were constantly coached to believe that women, just like men, are created in the image of God, and hence must be treated with dignity and respect. That teaching from childhood still remains close to my heart, regardless of time or place that I live in. I do hope that we continue to teach such precious thoughts to our children, empowering them to view and treat every woman with respect and dignity - as their own mother or sister or daughter, as God's divine image, and not as an object of desire to be ogled and fantasized about. In my view, real men are those who always treat women with dignity and respect.
