You don't have to be "feared" to be respected. That's the ******* / abuser mindset. Just stand up for yourself, and not take any ****. Big difference.
You won't be pushed around, but also won't have to push anyone else around to "keep them in line". Just need to assert yourself, stay firm on your boundaries, etc. Act like a man - not a bully.
This works well with people in general. Don't take any ****, and people won't give you any ****, or do all this bull**** to you. The only people who act like *******s and use intimidation / bully tactics are insecure cowards who don't know how to assert themselves. They act like *******s to prevent themselves from being bullied. ****ing pussies.
Also, Tom Lewkis is an insecure, bitter crybaby, and needs to have the **** kicked out of him.
And **** the right off if you think I'm a white knight fag for having these views. White knight my sword up your ass, and through your mouth. :box:
