Treated like a lady
Over the years working in construction I have met women construction workers. Some were treated like ladies, with all due respect others were treated the opposite.
I can quickly say it wasn’t the clothing, because in construction you have to wear certain clothing. It was how they acted; it dictated how the men would respond to them. At first all new female workers were treated mostly with respect, just a few little hints of wrong. Depending upon how the female would respond opened up for more of being treated like a lady, or not a lady. Some of those females just compromised a little at first to fit in, and soon they weren’t treated like a lady.
Our actions equal the words we speak, what we do, how we respond to what others say and do.
Like that saying goes if it quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, odds are it is a duck, and it will be treated as such.

In other words Bro. Lewis, Our actions will dictated what and how we will be treated. Bro. Doc
~*True*~… we teach others how to treat us. And this week I was watching a program, and a man stood up, stating how he doesn’t let many into his life because he’s been hurt so often and by so many people (I can relate)… the pastor than asks him if he can trust himself, when someone is treating him badly can he trust himself to back away… and I can so get that!
@BroDoc - Agreed Bro Doc, we choose how we want others to treat us. Thank you.
@Growedup - That is very good Bev! They can only treat us bad if we hang on to tight, it should be they who need us not the other way around. Good friends are hard to find, so the better friend we are the more we are valued in the others eyes and treated as such.
VERY TRUE!
@juliegirouard - Thanks Julie, we place before others the example of how we want to be treated.
