I am calling for uncommon decency. Respect that comes from awareness.

Respecting, understanding, and appreciating people makes us better people.

Past misdeeds must only serve as a reference point in calm conversation about lessons learned or actions that taught us to behave better. They should never be bantered about with sarcasm, anger, or nastiness.

Appreciation and respect are mutual needs. We may be wired differently as men and women, but some needs are parallel human needs.
