A talk…

I wanna talk to you about respect
I want us to have more respect in our interactions
You have to show more respect

Erm…
Don’t you mean capitulation
silence
and deference?

Asking about your gender ideology isn’t disrespect, it’s curiosity.
I expect you, and you and you and you, to be able to answer my questions
thoughtfully.

Talking about someone’s peculiar behaviour isn’t disrespectful:
I’m attempting to understand what I’ve observed,
thank-you.

Joking about your repeated postponements
ball dropping
sudden changes to plans
absences
mixed messages
is not disrespect, it is exasperation.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
