How much time have you spent in France, Bruekelen? Because I'm betting it's not a single day. Not even a moment. If you'd had exposure to their culture or others, you'd know that people of both genders tolerate crap from members of the opposite sex all over the world. It has to do with what some folks'll put up with--and whether they want a relationship that's about the extremes of love-hate chaos or one that's about respect and affection.

"Train them in the correct behavior toward the opposite sex"? Many of us here--male and female included--have long believed you're the one who needs to be trained in correct behavior toward both genders, frankly. I have not yet seen evidence that you respect anyone other than yourself, not males or females. And judging from the numerous behind-the-scenes comments that come in via emails, rep comments and PMs in response to your posts (this one ought to bring in a deluge), I would bet serious money that a whole lot more women actually dropped you.
