If a guy grew up with sisters, does that make him an expert in women? Does he treat a woman with respect?

I grew up with a sister, however respect was taught by my father and and mother and have always found and thought that respect for others regardless of...whatever...to be natural.

Not inherently.
And in many cases the opposite.
Because he works so hard to differentiate his identity from that of his sisters and mother, to be seen as an individual, that he tries to do the exact opposite and won't even face any similarity or knowledge of women.

Does he treat a woman with respect?

Not necessarily.

Maybe he was dominated by his mother and sisters, or they got all the attention from dad and boys.
So he doesn't respect women, he simply sees them as masters and becomes subservient to them, trying to get them to take responsibility for him by being subservient and trying to pass if off as respect to those that don't know better.

Or maybe he resented being in the middle of chick central Or the only friends he had were guys using him to get close to his sisters and came to be a misogynist.

me either. I had no brother til I was in my teens...stepbrother. From him, I learned that my stepbrother is pretty cool.... and my sisters taught me that I have annoying sisters. That was about it.


My brother was fairly robotic. And got high a lot.

My sister is much younger than me and I got nothing from that but I think that I learned how to get what I want from women from my mother. Children can be very manipulative with their parents that way.

While I agree with your logic, in practice most men aren't misogynists. As for my experience, the fact that I was the middle child between two sisters has given me a different perspective. While I'm in no way shape or form what I would consider an expert, I would consider myself a good reader.

Also my respect for everyone (including gays, lesbians, and transgender; and racial differences) were nurtured from my experience. What I'm trying to say is that regardless of my experiences with my two sisters, I would probably still give the respect and dignity that everyone (and I mean everyone) deserves. However, having those experiences did help.

if I grew up with a family of doctors, does that mean I can practice medicine?

Hummmmm putting it that way... You will not be a doctor unless that is where you want to go. But............you will know a lot more about the field then those that do not grow up around a family of doctors....


Hummm so no it will not make a person a expert.....but it will give them more knowledge what women are like.....

As far as treating women with more respect that is all determined how the parents instilled that part...

The closest thing you'll find to an "expert" in regard to women,
is a guy who happens to be bright enough to realise, that he doesn't
know everything there is to know.

Ok.. I grew up with four sisters..
. what that does for you..
it gives you a day today inside look..
.. at how women perceive things..
.. how their thought process . works..
.. you get to see . how much attention they put into getting themselves ready..
.. you get the inside scoop..
on what they say about men...
. and let me tell you!! they say a lot.lol..
.. you also get to see how vulnerable..
they can be!! how emotional they can be..
.. but you also get to see! how tough they can be.. how stubborn! they can be. you get to understand them! and see them . not just as. the opposite sex... but more as someone you can be friends with.. someone you can relate to.. you begin to understand..
.. their willingness to . to accept

.

Frankly, I resent it when my sister tries to criticise me when it comes to my atitudes towards women. I'm not taking that from someone that I used to babysit and push around in a buggy. She's the same with my dad and he's even less PC than I am. We don't leave toilet seats down in my family and if you do that I'll just piss on it.
