That's your problem right there. If you want people to respect you, don't hide, fight. Attempting to apologize or beg does not earn you respect from women or SJ-goons like gjm or Comrade ChristianKl, it earns you mockery and signals that you're someone it's safe to beat up on.
The boy's mistake in the story was begging rather than being assertive. And your problem here is that your immediate reaction to extremely unfair criticism by people who can be extremely charitably described as mind-killed is to apologize and attempt to say "no really I didn't mean it".
You seem to pressupose a quite peculiar definition of respect. Also, you're generalizing too much about what's inside women's heads.
The conditions in the story were rigged so that he had no other course of action open except begging. That's one of the 5,429,236 reasons why it fails as a metaphor.
