How NOT to treat a woman (or a man for that matter):
belittle her plans and ideas
speak for her and over her
make any conversation off limits
put her down in private or public
treat her like a puppet to be manipulated
play head games
undermine her self-esteem
make decisions for her
deny her your help
embarrass her
treat her as if you know best
mock her intelligence
make her feel guilty for addressing relationship problems
take the trash out and act as though you cleaned the whole house
treat her like a sex object
call her names of any sort
think she should be grateful to be with you
suppress independence
hurt her physically, even in "teasing"
scoff at her thoughts and opinions
"Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib. Not from his feet to be walked on. Not from his head to be superior, but from the side to be equal. Under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved." ~ written in the Hebrew Talmud
