Ruby and All,
I don't know that the American culture as a whole (if that is what you were
referring to) respects any particular qualities or type of people.
America is such a melting pot that it is impossible to narrow things down
like that. If we want to take a look at different ideologies and what
those ideologies respect, that is a whole different ballpark.
I agree that older women aren't particularly respected in U.S. culture,
but couldn't you say that for older men here as well?
