Yes I've seen that quote too there, it's on page 282. Bhurijan Prabhu's

remembers Prabhupada distinctly saying, "Yes the men do not treat the women

as mothers. Nor do the women ast like mothers. Neither do they dress as

mothers."

 

So one's behaviour must reflect one's education from the guru and previous

acarya's then respect will naturally accrue to the devotees who practice

what is preached. If bahaviour is otherwise, who'll give respect? One must

earn it.
