Mojo, I don't think the women I'm dealing with are analagous to girls walking their little sisters to school.
After some pondering, I think you could look at the issues I'm talking about as female testing, which has been discussed 'round these parts before. When a woman doesn't do what she says if a guy makes excuses for her and goes on about business as usual, his goose is cooked. If instead he says, "I'm not going to deal with you because you're not reliable," she suddenly wants to know what she can do to make it up to him.
Women seem to be fine when it's called "testing but most bristle when it's called "dishonest" or "unreliable". It's there, though, and a guy's gotta deal with it...probably all the way up to the extreme of tending fences.
