Two Faced
I sat on a bench outside a pub, drinking a coke when there were a group of young guys sat on the next bench talking loudly about girls they knew, O.K., so most of it was obviously fantasy, but I just had to speak up.
I asked them what they would do if they had heard some guys talking about their sister or girlfriend like that.
They were most indignant at the thought, and all said they would seek instant revenge, but seemed puzzled when I pointed out that those girls they had been talking about probably had brothers, boyfriends, fathers, so they could not complain if they were paid a visit.
It's not just that they had no respect for the girls, but they clearly had no self-respect either, and if you don't respect yourself you can't expect anyone else to respect you either.
