self-respect

Asking the question, “How do I maintain my self-respect, in the absence of respect from anyone else now?” seemed to be at the core of their moral problems.

It's about maintaining your self-respect.

The number of wars and mass murders and bar fights and any number of violent encounters that result from someone feeling as if their honor has been challenged, or their self-respect has been challenged, or they've been insulted in some way, is very much part of the honor ethic.

And it's coming from self-respect.

“As long as we live, we want to regain our self-respect and respect for our wombs.”
