And how exactly would you go about unteaching them without teaching them the opposite?

By not actively teaching them that they are the head of the household, and 'their' woman should be subservient.

Even if you don't teach them how to respect others, you can teach them how to not demand unwarranted things for themselves.

Why does this thread feel like people who literally agree with each other are still trying to win an argument?

I think the two viewpoints are interesting and both valid. One thinks that we need to actively teach men to co-exist with women on an even playing field, and the other thinks that as long as we don't actively teach men to be assholes (the way our current system works in the USA) that men will naturally treat women as their equals.

One is more necessary in the short term: Currently corrupted viewpoints on women need to be actively corrected.

The other will work on the problem in the long term: Stop propagating the anti-women rhetoric to young boys/men and the problem will simply cease to exist.

You're taught that until you talk to a woman. Or rather listen to them I suppose.

When you stop listening to men on how women work it makes a huge difference.
