The more limited a person’s intellect, the more respect one needs to show him. This is because the more limited his intellect, the more he craves honor. Thus, as we can see, women tend to be very particular about their respect and they very much want honor. The reason is that “woman’s daat is undeveloped” (Shabbat 33b), thus it is very limited.
כָּל מִי שֶׁשִּׂכְלוֹ קָטָן בְּיוֹתֵר, צָרִיךְ לַחֲלֹק לוֹ כָּבוֹד בְּיוֹתֵר. כִּי כָּל מַה שֶּׁשִּׂכְלוֹ יוֹתֵר קָטָן, הוּא יוֹתֵר חָפֵץ בְּכָבוֹד, וּכְמוֹ שֶׁאָנוּ רוֹאִים בְּחוּשׁ, שֶׁהַנָּשִׁים מַקְפִּידִין מְאֹד עַל כְּבוֹדָם, וְרוֹצִים מְאֹד אֶת הַכָּבוֹד, וְזֶה מֵחֲמַת, שֶׁהַנָּשִׁים דַּעְתָּן קַלָּה וּקְטַנָּה מְאֹד:
