A term of respect is a word or expression that shows we honor and respect the person we are talking to or talking about. It is also called an 'honorific'.
Respect can be shown in many ways in the English language. e.g.
A waiter asking a customer, "Would you like to order now, Sir?" - Sir being a term of respect.
Of course the use of terms of respect differ from culture to culture. e.g. buddy is used to indicate friendship, comradeship, a fellow team-player. This term of respect can be spoken to complete strangers in some circumstances, indicating immediate friendship as an equal.
Of course, if you ever meet the Queen of England, to address her as buddy would be quite inappropriate, even offensive. In fact it would show lack of respect for her person and position. 'Your Majesty' would be the appropriate honorific to use in such a situation.
There are many terms of respect, depending on the culture, circumstances and relationships between the parties.

Why don't women respect men?
In general, either the men have not earned their respect, or the women do not respect anyone; men are no exception. There are many levels of respect. Respect can be divided into the 3 following levels or types. Basic respect: Respect shown to everyone regardless. Respect that can be lost: Respect that is initially shown to strangers but can be lost or continued. Respect that must be earned: Respect that is not initially shown to a stranger but is shown to people who have earned it. The way a woman stereotypically respect men is different than the way men stereotypically respect men. Some men are sexist towards woman. Thus when a woman treats a man as if they are equals, a sexist man may find this attitude disrespectful. When a woman does not respect a man, it could be because of the woman, man or both of them (most common).
