I was raised Catholic, but the church was not my main place of meeting/knowing people.

I was in the Baptist church for a time, being part of the single's group. I didn't experience that same type of respect I received in the pentecostal environment. It was a higher level of conscience tenderness. An awareness of boundaries not crossed. And, yes, that could have just been my experience.
Perhaps there is something to - the love of God shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost?
I also worked in sales competing, largely, with men. So, of course, I brushed against a lot of disrespect and I won't go into my opinion of men in general. I can say that even as a licensed bartender, I found that if I acted respectful, I received the same.
