This is kind of going to be crass and not a good way to explain it, but it's the best way to articulate it: there is a strategy talked about hypothetically when a woman is about to be raped, she will say "My name is..." because a lot of the time, men who do this deed disassociate their victims from being people and want to think about them as objects, but when she has a name, it's said to pull the attacker out of disassociation.
To me, when I'm labelled anything, my name is like my shield, "Your a ****!"
"Please, call me *name*"
Any insults, any attack, anything at all and you respond with your name, you don't allow them to disassociate you and you defend your name, our defense as men is endurance and tolerance, her insults bounce off us as if our skin is iron.
Granted, there are times when its better to just not be saw at all, obviously the strategy won't always work, there is no one strategy that will always work.
In general I don't tolerate disrespect from women, because I have options, but if nothing else, you correct her with your name, you'll likely see her again and when you do, talk to her again. Wear her down, not with advances but with your value through options. Let her see you with different women.
I haven't articulated myself very well here but I have no interest in a longer post than this
