I love how Ms. Hill gives the same warning to both sexes. "Girls, you know you better watch out, them guys, them guys are only about, one thing; that thing, that thing, that thiiiiiiiing." And then she proceeds to switch it up and give the same warning to guys.
Guys and girls are both equals. Both sides do faulty things to the other. It's dope that (at least in this song, lol) Lauryn Hill acknowledges this and sings about the dangers of faulty people of the opposite sex without singling out either one of the sexes.
On that note, I don't respect anyone solely because they're a guy/girl. I see this more in the case of women; I've seen people make the claim that we should respect women solely for the fact that they're women. I think this is ignorant and we need to respect women and men for the fact that they're human beings, moreso than the fact that they're either male or female. We're all human beings who have emotions, goals, and dreams; and if you can't respect others out of the feeling of camaraderie in that, then you need to check your values
