I'm a guy, but I agree - there are far, far too many blokes who don't respect girls at all, but I also think there are lots of girls who don't respect guys either - I've lost count of how many girls hate me because I'm not 'hot' or 'handsome'. The trick is getting to know the guys who DO respect girls, because trust me, they're there :)

Because we live in a sexist society. Our society is structured in a way that women are looked down. That explains why there a less women in higher cargos, the feminine sports generally are less popular and a lot a women "have" to stay at home to take care of children. It seems very orthodox, but it is true, just look at statistics you can find anywhere. Even women can be sexist against themselves, and both men and women do it in some subconscious level

However, even though everybody is affected by sexism, it does not mean everybody acts upon it or enjoy it (As you certainly not do, I assume). If you want to find people who goes against it, you need to search for people who aren't really a fan of conservative postures.
Personally, I found that people who usually have more liberal points of view tends to respect women like they respect men.

My opinions on this matter are very political, and I don't really think this is the right place to display them. I do, however, think that you would sane your questions if you come in contact with feminist theories, just like I did.
Feel free to message me if you want to, I'm not a very hardcore feminist, but I think I can express well my opinions about this matter.

They feel like they can do that because in the olden days men had control over what their woman wore and did and who she spoke to so guys have now got the impression they rule the female species when in fact they don't, as times have changed and now there's this thing called equality but yet some guys still don't know what it is. Men need to realise woman are the same as them but with just different things.

How are they looking down on you? There is a difference between being sexist and having a sense of nature that says this is how females are on average and this is how males are on average. If someone treats you in a way that you feel is disrespectful, then you carry yourself in a way where your actions speak for themselves and your respect is all but demanded. You also can't take the behavior of hand full as evidence that men in general don't respect women.

You being able to take a beating isn't a reason to feel you should be respected. Or even being able to beat up a male shouldn't warrant any respect for you. You don't want a caveman's respect, you want a gentleman's respect; someone who respects your effort beyond the results of them.

Consider your company. You are who you associate with. So if you are continuously seeing examples of disrespect, then change your company, your crowd, your scenery, as some places carry a particular vibe that may come off abrasiveness and disrespectful to those not comfortable with the nature of those people (not that there is any excuse for blatant disrespect, but sometimes a particular attitude is just a front and not the true convictions of a person).

You seem like you like a little chaos , though.

Im a guy myself, I completely respect woman, I think its just because they feel like they need to be in control of something if not everything in their life.

In prehistoric times, men naturally could have sex with as many women as they wanted because it carried no commitment. Women, on the other hand, had to make a massive commitment because having sex with one man put her in a position of vulnerability for the next 9 months, and longer while she raised a child. This put men in a position of power, because women needed men, while men weren't dependent on any one woman. This remained true until women began supporting themselves, which has become more and more possible over the centuries. Why don't men respect women now then, you ask? The answer is a very simple principle. People respect you as much as you make them. Every woman who has respect made people respect her. The problem is, there are far too many women who are content to let men keep the upper hand and don't bother to stand up for themselves, and pursue men who don't respect them. I'm sure you know the type. These girls exist because that mindset is still partially hardwired into female brains, and has only been evolved out over thousands of years. The problem is, the men who didn't respect women then were the ones who didn't need to, because they were good enough hunters that they could support many women, and the women came to them. The men who did respect women did so because individual women were valuable to them, primarily because they didn't have the evolutionary viability to attract multiple mates. It all really comes down to natural selection. This is still somewhat true, in that men who can sleep around a lot respect girls less, because no girls make them do otherwise in order to have sex. Men who can't sleep around as easily respect women because they value the ones they have. Not to say this is always the case. There are the hopeless angry people who hate girls because they never get any, and the people who can and have easily had sex with countless women, but stopped out of respect. I'm just pointing out a noticeable trend that supports my theory. The girls that continue this system teach men that they don't have to respect women as a gender, so women have to fight an uphill battle for respect and power. Women need to realize they have a monopoly on sex, and they can use that power over men if they do it together. If just one girl says no, the guy can just go until he finds one that says yes.
